Clams, like most other bivalves, spend their days slowly moving across the ocean floor, using a long, muscular "foot" to propel them across the sand. As they go, they use an organ called a siphon to suck up debris on the sandy floor. The siphon is a long, tubular organ that uses suction to pull in whatever tasty morsels the clam can find, including plant and animal matter as well as waste products excreted by other seagoing animals (the waste often contains "leftovers" from whatever the animal ate; these pre-digested remnants are a perfect meal for the clam).

What is a clams mobility?
. The soft-shell clam digs a permanent burrow in which it remains for life unless disturbed. As it grows the clam enlarges and deepens its burrow. When the tide is in, this clam's long "neck" (actually its siphons) is thrust up to the opening of the burrow for feeding. When the tide goes out, the clam withdraws its "neck" and closes its shell until the tide comes in again.
