Best Answer

Tube feet are a series of small tubular projections that can be find on all echinoderms, including the star fish. By pumping fluids in and out of these tubes, hydraulic pressure is created that can be used to grip onto a surface or circulate materials around the feet. In star fish, tube feet are often used as suction cups to keep a grip on the environment and prevent being swept away by undersea tides.
