Solution
Molluscs:
Scaphopoda is also called tusk shells.
The scientific name Scaphopoda means "shovel foot," a term that refers to the "head" of the animal.
Which lacks eyes and is used for burrowing in marine mud and sediments.
The most distinctive feature of scaphopods is that the tubular shell is open at both ends, not just one end as in most molluscs.
