Seastars are preyed upon by animals such as fish, crabs, birds, and some species of sea turtles. They are also susceptible to diseases and parasites. Additionally, human activities, such as pollution and habitat destruction, can negatively impact seastar populations.
Animals with a backbone belong to the phylum Chordata. This phylum includes vertebrates such as fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals, which all possess a notochord or backbone at some stage in their development.
Animals without backbone are invertebrates, because vertebra means backbone.
a vertebrate is any animal with a backbone ex: birds, fish, humans(considered animals), snakes(do have backbone!), etc....
