An octopus has 8 tentacles. But marine scientists now believe that only 2 of those tentacles are actually used for walking and moving around. These are called as legs. The remaining 6 are used for feeding and other functions. Hence they are called as arms.

Octopuses may appear to have eight legs like arachnids, but they use only two of them to move. The rest are used for feeding, so we refer to them as animals with two legs and six arms.
