Asexual reproduction (also known, in animals, as parthenogenesis).

Many simple organisms such as bacteria, protists and archaea reproduce by splitting.

Quite a lot of plants reproduce by budding or sending up suckers, young plants which are genetically identical to the parent. Several plants do this as well as reproducing sexually, so they employ two methods.

A lot of invertebrates, some fish and reptiles too, reproduce asexually, where the egg develops without sperm.

Some types of shark are known to have reproduced by parthenogenesis.

What type of asexual reproduction does the starfish go through?

there is only one type of asexual reproduction and its called binarry fission.This only happens in cells. This kind of reproduction is when 1 cell duplicates its genetic material inside itself and it seperates into two different cells. This proccess only takes one parent. The results is that there is now another cell that is identical to the parent.
