What is the Binomial classification of starfish?
Starfish are not classified as "binomial" in the traditional sense. Here's why:
* Binomial Nomenclature: This system, developed by Carl Linnaeus, uses two Latinized words to give a unique scientific name to every species. For example, humans are *Homo sapiens*.
* Starfish are not a single species: The term "starfish" refers to a broad group of marine invertebrates belonging to the class Asteroidea. This class contains many different species, each with its own binomial name.
Here's an example:
* The common starfish, also known as the "sea star", is scientifically classified as *Asterias rubens*.
To summarize:
* Class: Asteroidea (includes all starfish)
* Species: Each individual starfish species has its own unique binomial name.
