They are referred to as arms. Read the following.
The water vascular system has many projections called tube feet on the ventral face of the sea star's arms which function in locomotion and aid with feeding. Tube feet emerge through openings in the endoskeleton and are externally expressed through the open grooves present along the bottom of each arm. (Wikipedia)

Starfish have no brains and no blood. Their nervous system is spread through their arms and their blood is actually filtered sea water.When starfish lose an arm, they can grow it back! This process is called "Autotomy." After the arm comes off, the cut area begins to heal and a new arm begins to grow. The arm that is broken off will die. However, in some cases, not only do the starfish grow new arms, but the arms that have been cut off grow new starfish.
At the end of each arm or ray on a starfish, there is a structure known as the tube foot, which is part of the starfish's water vascular system. These tube feet are used for locomotion, feeding, and gripping surfaces. Additionally, there are sensory organs called eyespots located at the tips of each arm, allowing the starfish to detect light and dark. Together, these features help the starfish navigate its environment and interact with its surroundings.
The starfish is an amazingly diverse aquatic animal. The starfish is able to regrow an arm, and able to regrow a whole new body from a detached arm.
