Is a starfish a sessile or freemoving animal?
A starfish is a free-moving animal. It can use its tube feet to move slowly along the ocean floor.
Why can a starfish move equally in any direction?
because a sea star has 5 legs A starfish has legs that are placed horizontally around its body, so it can maneuver in any direction. Some studies indicate that some starfish may favor some of their legs and move in a particular direction most of the time, but these studies are inconclusive. The starfish doesn't creep around the ocean floor with its arms! They actually use tiny tube feet to move around. If you turn a live starfish over you will see its tiny tube feet wiggling back at you.
Can the starfish move from place to place by themselves?
0.5/1.0 miles per hour they are the fish fastestinthe ocean the sunfish is the best swimmers of allthe fishes in the world
Which nekton live where the ocean floor is sometimes uncovered as waves move out?

How do starfish move around but why?

What are a starfish feet called?
Starfish feet are called tube feet. These are small, flexible, suction-cup-like structures that extend from the starfish's water vascular system, allowing them to move, cling to surfaces, and capture prey. Each tube foot operates through hydraulic pressure, enabling the starfish to maneuver effectively across the ocean floor.
How do star fish move?
Starfish move using tube feet located on the underside of their arms. These tube feet are filled with water, allowing the starfish to create suction and grip onto surfaces as they move. By contracting and expanding these tube feet in a coordinated manner, starfish can slowly crawl along the ocean floor.
What happens to the old ocean floor as the sea floor spreads?
As the sea floor spreads, the old ocean floor gets pushed out, which makes the plates move.
What makes the continent and the ocean floor unstable?
The continents and ocean floor are unstable because the plates of the lithosphere move. When the plate move, they cause the continents and ocean floor to move.
Why does the ocean floor spread apart at the ridge?
Because as tectonic plates move away from each other, the ocean floor spreads apart and fills the gap.
Are starfish coral?
No, starfish can move. Coral cannot move. Starfish have a mouth with which to eat. Coral bring in nutrients through tendrils.
