    • Ventral Side: Known as the bottom side, where the mouth is located; crucial for feeding.
    • Dorsal Side: The top side or front, which is used for protection and sensory functions.

    Biological Classification

    • Echinodermata: The phylum that includes starfish, characterized by their radial symmetry and a water vascular system.
