Answer:

Explanation:

→ Starfish are powerful hunters and primarily feed on mollusks. Their main sources of food are clams, oysters sand dollars and mussels, which are usually attached to rocks or otherwise unable to escape quickly. They also eat snails and injured fish, when they can find them.

Due to their tiny mouth on the underside of their body, starfishhave adapted an ingenious way of eating things larger than it can fit in their mouth. They have a stomach that can digest food outside their body, so that it can fit in their mouth. This allows the food to be further broken down inside the body.
