A limpet is a small marine mollusk with a conical shell that tightly adheres to rocks and other hard surfaces along the shoreline. Its shell is typically dome-shaped and has a rough texture, providing protection against predators and the harsh environment. Limpets have muscular feet that they use to cling to rocks and move around. They feed on algae and other microscopic organisms by scraping them off the rock surface with their radula, a specialized feeding organ. Limpets are known for their strong attachment to their chosen spot, which allows them to withstand the force of crashing waves. They are commonly found in intertidal zones and play an important role in maintaining ecological balance by contributing to the diversity of the rocky shoreline ecosystem.
