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.

Starfish tend to have pentamerous radial symmetry. In other words, the typical starfish has five lines of symmetry throughout their body. Some species have more lines because they have more arms.

How does having radial symmetry help a starfish survive?

It doesn't, really. Starfish are remarkable animals for their strange characteristics, but radial symmetry doesn't have significant benefit to the survival of the animal.
