What are the ossicles on a star fish?

Ossicles are small, bony plates found in the endoskeleton of echinoderms, which include sea urchins, sea cucumbers, and brittle stars. They provide support and structure.

Starfish, however, have a calcium carbonate skeleton that's more like a meshwork than a solid, bony structure. This meshwork is made of tiny, interlocking plates called spicules. These spicules are embedded in the skin and provide support and flexibility.

So, while starfish have a skeletal system, they don't have ossicles like other echinoderms.
