∙ 14y agoWhen a human baby is in the womb their are special cells that tell the body where to grow the limbs, when the child is born and starts to grow those cells become permanently dormant. These cells are very similar to the dormant cells found in humans and that's how they regenerate using those cells. These cells are also similar to the other cells on mammals.

∙ 9y agoI don't really know that but, I do know this. God made that creature very special. Well, everything is special but the starfish is really amazing. To tell you the truth, when I was younger, I found a starfish and it was stuck to a rock. I wanted to have it so, I took a stick and poked it. I kinda cut on of the arms off. But 2 days later, the arm was halfway grown back! God is truly amazing!

What happens when a starfish looses an arm?
It grows a new arm. Not only that, but the lost arm (if not eaten by something) grows into a new sea star. Unfortunately, we "superior" beings traded this regenerative capability for such baubles as arched feet, opposable thumbs, stereoscopic eyes, and brains. Can't have everything.

Do starfish have webbed feet?
Technically, No. Starfish have arms and legs. If one of their arms or legs break they can grow it back because the have no bones/skeletons. However, during this process the starfish gets attacked and hurts itself in the process then the starfish will grow more than 1 limb/ arms/ legs

Depends on the particular variety of starfish, but they're all important food sources. For example, the common starfish gets eaten by seabirds, dolphins, porpoises, gulls, sea otters, lobsters and crabs, and by several species of fish -- as well as other starfish! And Humans of course. The crown-of-thorns starfish (the notorious predator of coral reefs) is itself eaten by various fish, such as the humphead wrasse; by the harlequin shrimp; and by the giant triton.
