The function of the ambulacral groove on a starfish is to open the shells of bivalves. It also hold the tubed feet of the starfish.
Echinoderms can have ambulacral parts that include ossicles, plates, spines, and suckers. For example, sea stars or "star fish" have an ambulacral groove on their oral side (underside). This ambulacral groove extends from the mouth to the end of each ray or arm. Each groove of each arm in turn has four rows of hollow tube feet that can be extended or withdrawn. Opposite the ambulacral groove is an ambulacral ridge on the aboral side of each ray.
The Ambulacral Groove
If your asking where it is, its on the Ventral(bottom) side. It is the indent in the starfishes' skin that goes through all of the starfishes' rays (arms). It is called the ambulacral groove.
The main function of the ambulacral system in echinoderms is to facilitate movement, respiration, and feeding. It consists of a series of fluid-filled tube feet that help echinoderms to crawl, capture food, and exchange gases with the surrounding environment.
An ambulacral is another word for an ambulacrum, a row of pores of an echinoderm for the protrusion of appendages such as tube feet.
In a starfish, the ambulacral ossicles are little calcified bony plates covering the radial canal.

The Olfactory Groove on the squid is used to smell its environment. Anytime you see the word olfactory it has something to do with the sense of smell.
The piston ring groove serves as a seating area for piston rings within an engine's piston. Its primary function is to maintain a seal between the piston and the cylinder wall, preventing the escape of combustion gases and controlling oil consumption. Additionally, the groove allows for axial movement of the rings, accommodating thermal expansion and ensuring proper ring function during engine operation. Proper design and maintenance of the groove are essential for optimal engine performance and longevity.
