Abstract
Echinoderms, a group of marine invertebrates consisting of starfish, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, sand dollars, and brittle stars, can be morphologically analyzed and sorted into general taxonomic groups. Echinoderm identification is reliant upon morphological characteristics, but this approach can be challenging due to their complex features, which can be cryptic. DNA barcoding is a tool used in taxonomic assessment, allowing scientists to explore biodiversity with greater accuracy than relying on morphological characteristics alone.
