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.
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.
A starfish has a hydrostatic skeleton, which means it relies on the pressure of its internal fluids to maintain its shape and support its body. This type of skeleton allows for flexibility and movement, enabling the starfish to navigate its environment. In contrast, an exoskeleton is a rigid external structure found in organisms like insects and crustaceans, which is not applicable to starfish.
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.
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.
It is the ossicles :)

No, the word starfish is a noun, a word for a sea creature, a word for a thing.A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in asentence. The pronoun that takes the place of the noun starfish is it. Example:I found the skeleton of a starfish on the beach. Actually, I tripped over it.
