The quality or condition of having radial or ray-like symmetry in body form or structure.
From actino- (Greek aktis 'ray') + -morphy (Greek morphe 'form'). Describes the structural characteristic of radial symmetry.
Actinomorphy is nature's way of saying 'no front or back'—jellyfish, sea stars, and many flowers embrace actinomorphy because it lets them sense and interact with their environment from every direction equally!
