Answer 2

Tube feet function in locomotion and feeding. The tube feet in a sea star are arranged in grooves along the arms. They operate through hydraulic pressure. They are used to pass food to the oral mouth at the center, and can attach to surfaces.

Tube feet allow these different types of animals to stick to the ocean floor and move very slowly.
