Meaning Of Starfish
n.
Any one of numerous species of echinoderms belonging to
the class Asterioidea, in which the body is star-shaped and usually has
five rays, though the number of rays varies from five to forty or more.
The rays are often long, but are sometimes so short as to appear only
as angles to the disklike body. Called also sea star, five-finger, and
stellerid.
