How can a sea star reproduce asexually?
The females lay eggs in the water and let them float there, then males can come along and let sperms into the water and let them float there. Then they can mix and the egg becomes fertilized and a baby starfish is made. OR a female will lay her eggs and let them float and then another female can come and lay her eggs and they can fertilze each other making a baby starfish.
That is not correct... Sea stars reproduce asexually using the method of fragmentation, when the sea stars arm falls off and makes a new individual sea star that is genetically identical to the parrent..

Why do starfish legs fall off?
Yes, most starfish can regrow an arm (also known as a ray) if it is lost. However, a single arm will not grow into a new starfish. From what I have learned, as long as a part of the central point of the sea star still attached, the starfish can completely regrow. So, it is also possible for 2 halves to grow into 2 new starfish.
What kind of ocean habitat do starfish live in?
Starfish can be found on the ocean floor from the greatest depths all the way up to the lower tidal zone.
Starfish can live in almost every single oceanic zone.

How do starfish get rid of waste?

there is only one type of asexual reproduction and its called binarry fission.This only happens in cells. This kind of reproduction is when 1 cell duplicates its genetic material inside itself and it seperates into two different cells. This proccess only takes one parent. The results is that there is now another cell that is identical to the parent.
