No, it won't. The only way starfish's can produce is sexually, they have separate sexes. Cutting off a sarfish's arm will only cause it to die later, it will not grow into a serpate starfish.

Why do starfish legs fall off?

Yes, most starfish can regrow an arm (also known as a ray) if it is lost. However, a single arm will not grow into a new starfish.

So, it is also possible for 2 halves to grow into 2 new starfish.
