Yes an octopus does have a beak. Sorry wackys out there that think octopuses don't have beaks but they do. Sorry to disappoint you. They eat with their beaks!
Yes, the only hard part of an octopi's body is the beak, similar to a parrot's beak. Squids also have beaks as mouths.

Not in the traditional sense. An octopus has a hydro-skeleton, used by altering pneumatic pressure. An octopus can squeeze through an opening the size of a quarter.

No, an octopus does not have gills to use for breathing. Instead it has a siphon that helps it get the oxygen it needs.

How octopus breath by lungs or gills or trachea?

The beak-like mouth of an octopus is located on the mantel cavity at the back of the bulbous head of the octopus, surrounded by the eight legs. The mouth is the entryway to the mantle cavity which has gills inside of it. The octopus uses these gills to breathe. Water is brought into the octopus mouth and is then passed through the gills back into the body of water. As the water is pushed over the surface of the gills, oxygen is picked up by the blood in the capillaries of the gills.
