An echinoderm uses its tube feet for attachment and feeding.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Tube feets are usually considered as locomotory organ of Echinoderm.
  • They have tube feets arranged around their oral groove.
  • These tube feed help the organism to push the food into the oral groove.
  • Tube feets also help the echinoderms to attach themselves to the floor of the ocean and locomote slowly in a sliding manner.
