No they don't have either a tongue, teeth, lips, or esophogus
No, starfish don't have lips, teeth, tongue, throat or esophagus. Starfish simply extrude their stomach over what they wish to eat. Saves on a lot of parts.

No, starfish simply exert their stomach over the food they wish to digest. They do not need teeth and therefore do not need to mechanically digest food.
