Answer (2)

a clam basically extends with the fragile outer system frame, therefore it retracts after a while, one of the main reasons we retrieve pearls from shells and clams.

Clams use a simple nerve net and ganglia to coordinate essential functions like movement and feeding. Despite its basic structure, their nervous system allows clams to respond to environmental stimuli effectively. This simplicity does not hinder their survival in aquatic environments.
