Expert Solution
Step 1
  Regular Echinoids Irregular Echinoids Advantage to burrowing ?
Body shape Globular shaped skeleton  Heart- shaped The flattened body shape of the regular and irregular echinoids help them to burrow through the sediment.
Symmetry 5 fold Bilateral symmetry The five-fold symmetry of the regular echinoids help in burrowing.
Periproct location Centrally located Located towards the posterior end The location of periproct in both regular and irregular echinoids do not affect burrowing.
Spines Spines are used for locomotion as well as defence  and are made up of calcite. Spines like hairs The presence of spines in both regular and irregular spines prove advantageous for burrowing as well as for locomotion.
