Starfish primarily exhibit a type of asexual reproduction called "regeneration" or "fragmentation." In this process, a detached part of a starfish, usually a limb or even a fragment of its central disc, can regenerate into a complete individual. This ability allows starfish to reproduce asexually when they lose a limb or are otherwise damaged. The detached limb or fragment regenerates the missing parts, eventually forming a new, genetically identical starfish.
