Limpets are snails with a broadly conical shell which is not coiled, or appears not to be coiled. Limpets, theoretically are therefore a form of snail. All snails are known to be bivalves so i presume that limpets are also bivalves. I hope this answers your question ! This answer is totally wrong......
The correct one is:limpets are gastropods that contain one flat shell. They have one flat foot that lies under the body and this foot helps in digging.they are herbivores that feed on algae and plants and have a tongue like structure with rows of teeth that helps in digging. That's all i know.... I hope it is helpful to you..:) <3
