For a body plan, a starfish has 5-part radial symmetry, spiny skin, internal skeleton, water vascular system, and suction cup-like structures called tube feet.
Coelenterate
Jelly fish have a radially symmetric body plan.
starfish are in the shape of a star!!!
exoskeleton
A starfish does not have a skeleton because it doesn't needs it.
Crayfish have an external skeleton and starfish have an internal skeleton relying on a water vascular system for movement.
Starfish are invertebrates, but they do have any endoskeleton comprised of calcareous ossicles. These ossicles are connected together by a mesh of collagen fibers.
The bony plates that make up a starfish's skeleton is the ossicles. They are found in not only starfish but sea cucumbers and sea urchins also.
The bony plates of a starfish are made up from calcium carbonate. When the starfish dies, the skeleton usually denigrates and nothing remains except for the oral disk.
Nope - they lack any internal skeleton - and so are invertebrates.
No. A starfish has a hard shell and its inside is only organs. To be considered a vertebrate the starfish would need a spine and an internal skeleton (not to mention a head). They are, therefore, classified as invertebrates.

It is the ossicles :)

A hydrostatic skeleton is a type of skeleton many animals in the animal kingdom have.
