Does a starfish have an exoskeleton?
Sea Stars otherwise known as Star Fish are Echinoderms and they do not have an exoskeleton, they have an endoskeleton.
How do echinoderms use their endoskeleton like an exoskeleton?
Echinoderms, such as sea stars and sea urchins, have an endoskeleton made of hard plates called ossicles that lie inside their bodies.

It allows echinoderms to control their body shape and movement, just like an exoskeleton does for other invertebrates.
