Rhizostomae or Rhizostomeae is an order of jellyfish. This article is about the taxonomic rank for the sequence of species in a taxonomic list see Taxonomic order In scientific classification used Jellyfish are free-swimming members of the phylum Cnidaria.

(This is in contrast to other scyphozoans, which have four of these arms. Jellyfish are free-swimming members of the phylum Cnidaria.
