Bivalves that burrow in soft sediments require siphons to facilitate feeding and respiration while being partially buried. The siphons allow them to extend above the sediment surface to access water for filtering food particles and oxygen. This adaptation enables them to remain anchored in their burrows while still performing essential life functions without needing to expose their entire body.

Where do bivalves live?
All bivalves need fresh or sea water to breathe, reproduce, and feed. Ocean-dwelling species are found from the seashore to deep-sea habitats. However, the Australian Enigmonia lives on mangrove leaves or seawalls beyond high tide and gets its moisture from sea spray. Most species live on the bottom or burrow into mud and sand.
