A sea star captures its food using its tube feet, which are equipped with adhesive pads that allow it to grip and manipulate prey, such as mollusks. Once it has secured its prey, the sea star can evert its stomach through its mouth and into the shell of the prey, digesting the food externally before absorbing the nutrients. This unique feeding method allows sea stars to consume organisms that are otherwise difficult to access.
