Solution

Radula:

  1. It is a rasping organ.
  2. It's a tongue-like organ with teeth on the outside.
  3. They allow the creature to sweep and scrape food from the surface, which it then consumes.
  4. Mollusca is the phylum that contains these structures.

Starfish:

  1. Starfishes are classified under the phylum Echinodermata.
  2. They don't have any radula on them.

Therefore, starfish do not have radula.
