Well, honey, a starfish is like the Picasso of the ocean - it's all about that funky radial symmetry. They may look like they partied too hard and lost a few limbs, but those five arms are arranged in a symmetrical pattern around a central point. So, yes, a starfish has symmetry, just not the kind you'd find in a boring ol' square.
Radial symmetry
Bilateral Symmetry - Right down an animal (Worm or fish)Radial Symmetry - Symmetry like a circle (E.g - Starfish)Asymmetrical - No symmetry
a starfish has a rotational symmetry because it rotates back to itself 90 degrees which is 1/4 of a turn.
Pentaradial symmetry is a form of symmetry in which an organism can be divided into five identical parts around a central axis. This type of symmetry is commonly found in echinoderms, such as starfish and sea urchins. Unlike bilateral symmetry, where organisms can be divided into two mirrored halves, pentaradial symmetry allows for multiple orientations in the environment. It plays a crucial role in the ecological adaptability and locomotion of these marine animals.
A decagon need not have any lines of symmetry. It can also have 1 or 10 lines of symmetry.
