No, a clam does not have bones, it is an invertibrate. That is why it has a shell. It doesnot outgrow its shell, as it is one of those shellfish that's shell grows with it. When it dies, it rots and some other shellfish that does outgrow its shell will take that one until it grows again. In short...no.

No, "clam" is a casual term for a mollusk; a filter-feeder type of freshwater or marine animal that has two calcareous shells (valves) joined near a hinge with a flexible ligament.
