∙ 9y agoThe majority of mollusks use a radula, which is actually a rasping tongue with tiny teeth. They use the radula to scrape tiny animals or plants off rocks. They also use it to tear their food into chunks. But in the case of bivalves like mussels and oysters, food particles are filtered via their gills.
