Answer:

The ring canal connects the radial canals (there are five in a pentaradial animal), and the radial canals move water into the ampullae, which have tube feet through which the water moves. By moving water through the unique water vascular system, the echinoderm can move and force open mollusk shells during feeding.

Water gets into the water vascular system through an opening in the echinoderm's body. ... When the echinoderm retracts its muscles, the tube feet retract and let go of the surface. This series of contractions and retractions allows the animal to move along the ocean floor.
