The text claims that starfish can regrow a lost limb, and in some instances, the lost limb may regenerate into an entirely new starfish.
The claims involve biological processes of starfish regeneration. The first claim, about regrowing a limb, is well-documented and true. The second claim, about a limb growing into a whole starfish, has evidence in certain species but is not universally true. Only some species exhibit this regeneration capability, and the evidence primarily supports regeneration of limbs rather than entire bodies consistently.

A starfish can regrow a lost limb.
Starfish are known to have the ability to regrow lost limbs, a process well-documented in biological studies. This is a common characteristic of these echinoderms, supported by scientific studies and reliable sources.

In some cases, a lost starfish limb can regrow into a whole new starfish.
In some starfish species, a detached limb can regenerate into a whole new organism. Multiple sources indicate this capability, corroborating the claim specifically in certain species. However, it is not universal across all starfish.
