In clams, food moves through the digestive system starting when water enters the siphon, where tiny particles are filtered out by the gills. The filtered food then moves to the mouth, where it is further broken down by the radula. From the mouth, the food travels to the stomach, where enzymes digest it, and then into the intestine for nutrient absorption. Finally, waste is expelled through the anus.
