Radial symmetry means that the body can be divided into two similar halves by any plane passing through the central axis. This type of symmetry is characteristic of Cnidaria (e.g., jellyfish, Hydra). In Echinodermata (e.g., starfish, sea urchins), adults show pentamerous radial symmetry, although their larvae are bilaterally symmetrical.
