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.
