Accepted Answer

Clams burrow by using a foot, which is a muscular organ that extends from the clam's body and is used for digging into sediment or anchoring itself in place. Other options such as adductor muscles are used to close the clam's shell, cilia action is used for movement and feeding, gills are used for respiration and filter feeding, and a modified radula is used for scraping algae off of surfaces.
