The grooves on a starfish, also known as sea stars, contain their tube feet, which are part of their water vascular system. These tube feet function in locomotion, feeding, and respiration. The grooves facilitate the extension and retraction of the tube feet, allowing the starfish to move and manipulate objects in their environment. Additionally, the tube feet are equipped with suction capabilities, helping them to cling to surfaces and capture prey.

If you look beneath a starfish you will see a groove under each "arm", from the tip to the "mouth" in the centre. The grooves are lined with "feet", flexible, muscular tubes with suckers at their ends.The starfish can travel by sucking onto any convenient surface with the suckers and dragging themselves along. Actually when a starfish hatches from its egg, it also can swim or drift along in the sea water. You could call that travelling too.
