Question

The water-vascular system of a sea star function in defense.
True
False

Answer 1

Answer: False

Step-by-step explanation:

The water vascular system of sea star or star-fish helps in locomotion, capture and transport of food and respiration. It has no role in defence. In fact, the spines on the body have role in defence.

It is important to remember that spines on body and water vascular system are the key traits of the phyla Echinodermata to which the star fish belongs.

Answer 2

False. The water-vascular system of a sea star functions in locomotion, feeding, and respiration. It does not play a role in defense.
