any one invertebrate of the class Asteroidea of the phylum Echinodermata. The body is in the form of a five-rayed (sometimes poly act, with up to 50 rays) star or pentagon. It measures from 1 cm to 1 m. Many starfish are brightly colored. The skeletal plates of the skin are armed ...
Sea stars or starfish are marine invertebrates belonging to Kingdom Animalia and phylum Echinodermata, class Asteroidea. The names sea star and starfish are also used for the closely related brittle stars, which make up the class Ophiuroidea. They exhibit a superficially radial symmetry. Starfish ty...
Starfish (class Asteroidea, phylum Echinodermata) are widely spread in almost all climatic zones of the ocean worldwide. It is believed that starfish constitute a dead-end morphophysiological branch of evolution. However, their role in the function of marine communities is sufficiently significant [...
