Radial Symmetry

This is a picture of a jellyfish. A jelly fish has radial symmetry. This is symmetry around a central axis. In other words, an organism with radial symmetry could be divided into symmetrical portions from the center, the same way a pie could be cut into slices. Some organisms with radial symmetry are aquatic cnidarians, which include corals, jellyfish, and sea anemones, and ctenophora, which are comb jellies. Dchinoderms have a unique five-point radial symmetry, which consist of starfish, sand dollars, and sea urchins.
