Diagram illustrating the process of asexual reproduction in a starfish, where a portion of the starfish regenerates into a genetically similar new organism.

Asexual reproduction in starfish: through regeneration, a starfish can reproduce asexually by regenerating from its body parts, creating genetically identical new organisms.
