worms employ radioles primarily for alimentation.
While their primary role is to
function as an
organ for
filter feeding,
radioles also
serve as respiratory...

generally longer (especially on the

mouth appendages. Each
spiral is
composed of feather-like
tentacles called radioles,
which are
heavily ciliated and

featherlike 'gills',

filter feeders,
extending a plume-like fan of
radioles from the end of the tube in
