Respiration in starfish occurs in two locations. The first is through the skin on the ends of its feet. The second is in the gills. The gills are lined with tiny hairs called cilia that filter out unnecessary materials. Oxygen is taken out of the water as the starfish exhales carbon dioxide.
Gas exchange is a function of respiration not digestion.
Gas exchange can also be referred to as respiration. This process involves the uptake of oxygen and release of carbon dioxide in living organisms. It occurs in specialized organs such as the lungs in mammals and gills in fish.

Respiration
gaseous exchange
Yes. Carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen in the lungs.
Diffusion
The other term is respiration.
The Process of gas exchange is called Respiration
Respiration.
In plants, the stomata regulate gas exchange during the processes of photosynthesis and respiration. Stomata are small pores located on the surface of leaves that open and close to control the movement of gases such as carbon dioxide and oxygen. By regulating the opening and closing of stomata, plants can optimize gas exchange for efficient photosynthesis and respiration.
The organ in both fish and clams that serves a similar function to the papulae of starfish is the gills. Gills are responsible for gas exchange, allowing aquatic animals to absorb oxygen from the water and expel carbon dioxide. In starfish, papulae also facilitate gas exchange and help in excretion, functioning similarly to gills in terms of respiratory processes.
