Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Tube feet (technically podia) are small active tubular projections on the oral face of an echinoderm, whether the arms of a starfish, or the undersides of sea urchins, sand dollars and sea cucumbers; they are more discreet though present on brittle stars, and have only a feeding function in feather stars.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sea stars have a water vascular system and tube feet much like those of the sea urchins.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sea Stars: Most sea stars have five arms. The underside of each arm holds 2-4 rows of tube feet, or suction cup feet. They use these feet to hold onto and move around on rocks and on the ocean floor. Brittle stars: Brittle means it’s fragile and breaks easily.
