Pedal disc

Summary

The pedal disc (also known as a basal plate) is the surface opposite to the mouth of the sea anemone. It serves to attach the anemone to the substrate, or hard surface, upon which it lives.[1]

The pedal disc is composed of a thin tissue plate and is used by the animal to adhere to and move across the surface.[2]
