Description
The starfish, also known as sea stars, are captivating marine invertebrates found in oceans worldwide. With their distinctive radial symmetry and vibrant colors, they adorn coastal habitats, from rocky shores to coral reefs. Despite their name, they’re not fish but echinoderms, belonging to a group of spiny-skinned creatures. Starfish exhibit remarkable regenerative abilities, able to regenerate lost limbs, making them resilient survivors in the dynamic marine environment. They play crucial roles in marine ecosystems, preying on bivalves and scavenging on decaying matter, contributing to ecosystem balance.
