No, starfish do not have a spinal cord. They are echinoderms and possess a unique water vascular system instead, which helps them move and feed. Their body structure is radial and lacks the bilateral symmetry typically associated with animals that have a spinal cord. Instead, they have a hard endoskeleton made of calcium carbonate.
