Question

What is the function of the posterior valve of a chiton?​

Answer 1

Answer:

These valves overlap posteriorly (the back ends overlap the one behind) and are encircled and held in place by a muscular fold called the girdle. These overlapping valves allow the chiton to fit into rock crevices and curl into a ball like an armadillo or pill bug if detached from the substrate (Gosner, 1971).
