The body or main division of a radially symmetrical organism, particularly in marine animals.
From Greek aktis (ray) plus soma (body), meaning 'ray body' or 'radial body.'
For sea anemones and other radial animals, the actinosoma is the central feeding structure—all those tentacles (the rays) radiate from this central body like petals on a flower.
