How can clams move and breath using the surroundings?

Clams breathe through gills much like fish. A mussel (commonly called a clam) consists mostly of a long brownish dual-purpose muscular foot. The animal moves via its foot and anchors itself to something substantial with the foot: a rock, ship, or dock. When the mussel lies underwater, its foot sticks out between its two hinged shells. The Clam also moves using the surrounding current when it releases from a rock.
