Shells are a kind of external skeleton
The shells grow by adding new material to the edges as the animal inside gets bigger in this way the animal is protected by its shell all the time and does not have to moult or shed their shell.
The oyster's shell provides protection from predators. Oysters do not need to shed their shell because the eat and expel waste products buy opening their shells and pumping water in and out with hairlike structures call cilia.
Their shells grow as the organism grows
Oysters and mussels do not shed their shells. They are bivalve molluscs and their shells grow larger with age.
