Echinodermata is the species name for starfishes
Starfish are Echinoderms, and there are many species in several orders. (see the related link)
Starfish are members of the phylum Echinodermata. They can be distinguished from other species in this phylum by having a flat, star-shaped body with multiple arms. The number of arms varies.
There are over 1,800 different species of starfish so to know which family a specific starfish is in, you would need to be more specific about which species of starfish you are referring to.
Starfish belong to the class Asteroidea. The scientific name of a particular species consists of the Genus name followed by the species name. An example for starfish would be Asterina miniata (where Asterina is the Genus name and miniata is the species name).
Starfish, or sea stars, play a crucial role in marine ecosystems, primarily as predators that help maintain the balance of species populations on coral reefs and in other habitats. By controlling the abundance of certain prey, such as mollusks, they contribute to the overall health of the ecosystem. However, in some cases, an overpopulation of certain starfish species, like the crown-of-thorns starfish, can lead to coral reef damage, indicating that their impact can be both beneficial and detrimental depending on the context. Overall, their presence is essential for ecological balance in their environments.
There is no record of who exactly discovered starfish. There are millions of starfish species in oceans all over the world.
Yes starfish live on the ocean floor. Starfish are invertebrates and there are over 1500 different species of starfish in the world.
