Limpets are grazers and they feed basically on algae growing on rocks and other surfaces. They collect the algae with a ribbon-like tongue with rows of teeth.
Whitecap limpets are filter feeders, using their gills to trap microscopic algae and organic particles from the water. They use their radula, a rough tongue-like structure, to scrape off and consume this food. Whitecap limpets mostly feed at night when there is more food available in the water.
they die
Limpet is the name given to saltwater and freshwater snails.
A limpet has a sucker at the bottom so that it can cling to rocks, if it has more than a few hours to attach itself, 30% of them start to form a different, stronger attachment which appears to be based on glue. These limpets remain stationary for extended periods, it is thought that limpets alternate between the use of suction and glue depending on their need to move.

Some starfish do indeed eat limpet. These starfish tend to be more aggressive feeders and will pry limpets from their rocks.

it eats microscopic plants of the rock they use there rough tongues to scrape it off
A swell is a wave or series of waves that are caused by surface gravity. However a whitecap wave is caused by the wind.
Limpets eat different types of algae such as microscopic seaweed.
It can. It depends what kind of limpet it is.
Mr Limpet is an undersea adventure
Why Henry Limpet (Don Knotts) in 'The Incredible Mr. Limpet' turned into a dolphin after falling into the water was never explained .
The limpet hides in its protective shell and sucks hard onto the rock or surface that it is on making it almost impossible to remove with ease. However the limpet is defenseless against birde with strong beaks eg the african black oyster catcher, even though it doesn't actually eat oysters. Written by MAC from BHS
