In sea stars, food moves through a unique digestive system that includes a stomach and a complex network of digestive glands. After capturing prey, the sea star extrudes its stomach out of its body and into the prey to digest it externally. The digested nutrients are then absorbed into the sea star's body through the stomach and transported to other parts via the coelomic fluid. This efficient system allows sea stars to feed on a variety of marine organisms, primarily bivalves.

Do Sea Star move?
Yes. :)
How does the sea star uses its tube feed to eat?
a sea star catches food, by going up to its prey, using its suction cups to open the food up, and the sea star then pushes its stomach out of its mouth, and on to the food and chemicals from the sea stars mouth then kill the food, and the sea star rips the food from its shell, and digests it
What is starfish food?
sea star
The tube feet of a sea star take advantage of what principle to move?
The tube feet of a sea star move through a hydraulic system known as the water vascular system. This system uses water pressure to control the extension and retraction of the tube feet, allowing the sea star to move and manipulate objects.
What is the function of the arm of a sea star?
actually that's a very good question who ever aks this,and the function of the arm of a sea star is just to help the sea star to get food and it hepls to they can walk inside of the ocean
How often does a sea star eat?
=A sea star really does not eat anything. If there is moss or algae on the item the sea star is clinging to, it will suck those up.=
Are sea star spines movable?
Yes, sea stars are able to move the spines in order to protect themselves as armor.
How do sea star eat food?
Sea stars eat their food with their mouths. Their mouths are located in the center part under their body. Their mouths are tiny.
What are the type of feet used by sea star to move?
they dont they use thier legs

How do starfish get rid of their undigested food?
Because of their method of digesting food externally, there is not much food that gets undigested within a sea star. Wastes from digestion are excreted through the anus on top of the sea star or through the water vascular system.
Do tube feet of a living sea star move in unison?
Yes, the tube feet of a living sea star move in coordination to help with locomotion, feeding, and attachment. The tube feet are connected to a water vascular system that controls their movement through hydraulic pressure. This allows the sea star to efficiently navigate its environment and capture prey.
