The clam shell serves multiple functions, primarily providing protection for the soft body of the clam against predators and environmental hazards. It also aids in maintaining moisture and preventing desiccation when the clam is exposed to air. Additionally, the shell plays a role in burrowing into sediment, helping the clam anchor itself in its habitat. Finally, the shell can help in regulating internal conditions, such as temperature and salinity.
