According to the phylogeny tree which phylum of organisms are most closely related to chordates?

According to the phylogenetic tree, which phylum of organisms is most closely related to chordates? Specifically, how do echinoderms, such as starfish, fit into this relationship?

I believe the answer is echinodermataechinodermata and Chordata have a very similar embryonic development; tirhe first opening (the blastopore) becomes the anus, while in protostomes it becomes the mouth and several similarties in the formation of skeleton.It is predicted that Echinodermata and Chordata evolved from the same ancestor

Ans. A phylogenetic tree shows a diagram of tree that describes evolutionary relationships between various biological species, on the basis of difference and similarities in their genetic and physical features. According to this, the organisms of phylum echinodermata are most closely related to organisms with phylum chordata because both the phyla have organisms with a blastopore (develops into anus) and indeterminate cleavage, grow radially, and are deuterostomes. Thus, the correct answer is option). 'echinodermata.'
