This is a picture of a starfish. This is an example of radial symmetry. Radial symmetry occurs when an organism can be divided equally about a central point kind of like a pizza cut into equal parts. The symmetry can be divided any number of planes. If the starfish was cut using a four piece plane then all the cut pieces would be equal. Other examples of organisms with radial symmetry include: jellyfish, sea urchins, coral polyp. etc.
