Starfish, more accurately called sea stars, get their name from their star-like shape, characterized by a central disc and radiating arms. This distinctive morphology resembles a star, which is why they are commonly referred to as "starfish." Despite their name, they are not fish; they belong to the echinoderm phylum, which includes sea urchins and sand dollars. The term "starfish" has persisted in popular usage, even as the scientific community favors "sea star."
