a starfish has a rotational symmetry because it rotates back to itself 90 degrees which is 1/4 of a turn.
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.
Bilateral Symmetry - Right down an animal (Worm or fish)Radial Symmetry - Symmetry like a circle (E.g - Starfish)Asymmetrical - No symmetry
Bilateral symmetry.
Bilateral symmetry
turn symmetry
radial symmetry
The Asteroidea class is the name of the class that contains starfish. However, brittle stars don't belong to this group. Most starfish have five appendages and all adult starfish have radial symmetry, although they are born with bilateral symmetry.
Box starfish has pentaradial symmetry.
