They filter tiny organisms from the seawater, like plankton. Clams filter feed by drawing in water containing food using an incurrent siphon. The food is then filtered out of the water by the gills and swept toward the mouth on a layer of mucus. The water is then expelled from the animal by an excurrent siphon.
A clam gets it's food by using a foot. This is a fleshy, muscular organ called a cilia. It brings the food to it's mouth. It's main food is plankton.
