Do echinoderms have deuterostome development

Yes, echinoderms exhibit deuterostome development. In deuterostomes, the first opening that forms during embryonic development becomes the anus, while the mouth develops later. Echinoderms, such as sea stars and sea urchins, share this characteristic with other deuterostomes, including chordates. Additionally, they display radial symmetry and a unique water vascular system.
