http://zipcodezoo.com/Animals/H/Holothur鈥?/a>|||Sea cucumbers are animals, not plants -- they're related to starfish. And there are a number of them, so you really can't specify a single species.
They are holothurians, members of class Holothuriodae
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_cucumbe鈥?/a> and found in various subclasses and families in the class. The zoologists (animal specialists) will probably be more useful to you on this than we botanists (plant specialists).
