| definition: |
A starfish is a sea animal. It has a flat body and arms that give it the shape of a star. Starfish live in water near the shore, or in places where the water of the ocean is not deep. Starfish are not really fish because they don't breathe the same way as fish. Starfish are also called sea stars.
Most starfish have five legs, but some have even ten legs or more!
