16.) Radial Symmetry


The flowers in this picture show radial symmetry. Radial symmetry is characterized by symmetry around the central axis. This means you could cut the flower in half in many different places through the central axis and still have equal halves. Organisms with radial symmetry are often less active than those with bilateral symmetry. Other things that show radial symmetry include starfish and bike wheels.
