What are starfish?

Starfish, also known as sea stars, are marine invertebrates found in oceans around the world. They typically have five arms, although some species can have more, and are known for their ability to regenerate lost limbs. Starfish are not actually fish; they belong to a group called echinoderms, which also includes sea urchins and sand dollars. They play a vital role in ocean ecosystems by feeding on mollusks and helping to maintain the balance of marine life.
