State
Gastropods, such as snails, move on one broad foot; bivalves, such as clams, filter feed through hinged shells; cephalopods bear a foot modified into arms.

An octopus's modified foot forms grasping, sucker-lined arms, a striking departure from a snail's single gliding foot in the same phylum.
Watch for
Cephalopods, despite their modified plan, still share the foot-mantle-visceral mass organization traced at Bio 2257.
