Animals like starfish and some micro-organisms have the facility to regenerate body parts if they get destroyed. It is the same as if we homo sapiens lose an arm and we could grow it back sometime later.
Regeneration is what causes sea stars to repair their limbs.
Sea stars reproduce by an asexual method called regeneration
Ducks Are Not Capable. Trust Me... I Kno.. Sea Stars Are
The major difference is that asexual reproduction in sea stars involves the regeneration of a new individual from a severed part of the sea star, while sexual reproduction involves the fusion of gametes from two separate individuals to produce offspring with genetic variation.
Regeneration reproduction occurs in organisms like sea stars when if they get cut in half both halves will regenerate to create two identical sea stars and even though they are identical and this does not usually occur on purpose it is still reproduction
If a five-armed sea star is cut into five equal pieces, each piece has the potential to regenerate into a new sea star, provided that each piece contains part of the central disc. Therefore, ideally, you could end up with five new sea stars, assuming each piece is sufficiently large and contains necessary biological structures for regeneration. However, successful regeneration can depend on various factors, including the health of the sea star and environmental conditions.
