Definition
A taxonomic class of marine animals with radially symmetrical bodies, including starfish and brittle stars.
Etymology
From Greek 'aster' (star) + 'zoa' (animals), a scientific classification name referencing the star-like shape of these creatures.
Kelly Says
Despite being called 'starfish,' these creatures aren't fish at all—they're echinoderms with a fascinating ability to regrow lost limbs, and some species can actually flip themselves over using tube feet like tiny hydraulic suction cups.
