If a starfish loses all of its legs, they will grow back. This regeneration is asexual reproduction. We just learned about that

How does a starfish heal?

If a starfish loses an arm, it has the power to regenerate, meaning it can grow its appendages back. In fact, if a live starfish lost all its legs(so that it would just be 5 seprate legs - or, at least, most of the time 5 legs) as long as each leg has part of the central body part, every leg can regenerate into a new starfish.

Why do starfish legs fall off?

Yes, most starfish can regrow an arm (also known as a ray) if it is lost. However, a single arm will not grow into a new starfish. From what I have learned, as long as a part of the central point of the sea star still attached, the starfish can completely regrow. So, it is also possible for 2 halves to grow into 2 new starfish.
