Bivalves are a class of mollusks that have two shells hinged together, while mollusks are a diverse phylum of invertebrates that include bivalves, snails, and octopuses. Bivalves primarily feed through filter feeding by pumping water in and out of their shells, while other mollusks have various feeding methods.

It has two valves, hence bi....

When life gives bivalves sand, they make pearls.
Bivalves move by using a blade shaped muscular foot.
they are called bivalves .(:
