Biradial symmetry
A body plan in some cnidarians that has two planes of symmetry rather than the several planes of a radially symmetrical animal, or the single plane of a bilaterally symmetrical one. Both planes of symmetry are longitudinal and are at right angles to each other. Both include the aboral-oral axis, which is the axis of symmetry.
