Answer:

The bivalve foot becomes proportionately larger in smaller individuals

Step-by-step explanation:

The bivalve foot is a muscular appendage that enables the animals to dig in across the sandy surfaces. This structure is adapted to life stile and movement, being reduced in animals like oysters that live permanently attached to the rocks
