radula. The radula is a tongue-like organ equipped with rows of small, chitinous teeth that are used to scrape or rasp food particles off surfaces. It is primarily found in gastropods such as snails and slugs, but is also present in other mollusk groups like chitons and some cephalopods.

What is a bollusk?
i think you mean what is a Mollusk? Mollusks are invertebrate animals belonging to the Phylum Mollusca. They have a soft body consisting of a visceral mass containing the internal organs, a muscular foot used for locomotion, and, in all mollusks except the bivalves, a head. In addition to the mouth, which may be located at the end of an elongated organ called a proboscis, the head often bears sensory tentacles and eyes. The mouth leads into a chamber known as the pharynx, which usually contains a radula, a flexible, ribbon-like structure consisting of numerous rows of minute teeth, used in obtaining food. In all mollusks the body wall surrounding the visceral mass is prolonged into a fleshy or sheet-like mantle, which usually contains glands that secrete the shell.
What mollusk has no shell?
