👉 Teloschistopsis is a term in the biological field that describes a type of gastropod mollusk, commonly known as a starfish. These animals are characterized by their spiral-like appendages on their body, which serve as arms and tentacles for movement. The term "teloschistopsis" refers to these spiral arms or tentacles, which are thought to be responsible for the unique function of the shell, allowing it to extend from the mantle into a star-shaped structure.
