Filter Feeder

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to sort through a pile of mixed laundry to find your favorite socks. Just like you separate your socks by picking through the pile, a filter feeder sifts through water to capture tiny food particles. In this analogy, the laundry pile is like the ocean water filled with different materials, and your hand picking out socks represents the filter feeder's specialized structures that strain and collect food from the water, efficiently selecting what it needs from a mixture of everything else.
