Answer 1

Adult barnacles have feathery legs to capture food particles from the water.

Step-by-step explanation:

The feathery legs of adult barnacles serve to capture food particles from the water. Barnacles are crustaceans that attach themselves headfirst to a substrate, such as rocks or logs, and cannot move. They are passive filter-feeders that absorb suspended nutrients from the water passing through.
