The madreporite of a starfish is located on the aboral surface. The aboral surface refers to the upper side of the starfish, which is opposite to the side where the mouth is located. The madreporite is a small, porous structure that serves as the entrance to the water vascular system in starfish. It allows seawater to enter the water vascular system, which is responsible for various functions such as locomotion, respiration, and feeding in starfish.
