The starfish life cycle starts anew when eggs and sperm are released into the ocean and fertilization occurs. Starfish larvae result from fertilization of the eggs. The larvae later undergo metamorphosis and eventually turn into adults.

Why can a starfish move equally in any direction?
because a sea star has 5 legs A starfish has legs that are placed horizontally around its body, so it can maneuver in any direction. Some studies indicate that some starfish may favor some of their legs and move in a particular direction most of the time, but these studies are inconclusive. The starfish doesn't creep around the ocean floor with its arms! They actually use tiny tube feet to move around. If you turn a live starfish over you will see its tiny tube feet wiggling back at you.

How does the water vascular system help a starfish move around?
The water vascular system of a starfish helps it move around by creating hydraulic pressure that powers the tube feet. These tube feet are connected to canals that run throughout the body of the starfish, allowing it to extend and contract them. By controlling the amount of water in the tube feet, the starfish can use them to grip and push off surfaces, enabling movement.
What is the mode of locomotion of starfish?
Trains.
