Starfish, or sea stars, do not reproduce through binary fission; instead, they primarily reproduce sexually by releasing eggs and sperm into the water. Some species can also reproduce asexually through a process called regeneration, where a severed arm can grow into a new individual, provided part of the central disc is attached. Binary fission is a form of reproduction seen in simpler organisms, such as single-celled organisms, but not in starfish.
