Description
SPECIFICATION: Chiton is a marine mollusk belonging to the class Polyplacophora. Its body is flattened and oval, with eight hard, interlocking plates on its back. These plates are surrounded by a thick, leathery edge called the girdle. On the underside, it has a broad and muscular foot that helps it cling tightly to rocks. Chiton uses a specialized organ called a radula for feeding, which contains tiny, hard tooth-like structures that scrape algae from surfaces. It moves slowly and is commonly found on rocky sea shores. Chiton plays an important role in controlling algae in marine ecosystems, and its simple body structure helps scientists study the evolution of mollusks and the development of biological materials.
