I am not stealing anything but I want wikipedia to take all the credit (for their copyright) anyways this is the answer and read more on the link below for more information but this should explain "What is a cephalopod?", so here it is.
They are an invertebrate in the phylum Mollusca meaning "soft bodied" (Mollusks). The class Cephalopoda means "head foot", meaning their arms and tentacles come from the head. All of their internal organs are cased in the soft section of the body called the mantle. There are actually 4 types of cephalopods: squids, octopuses, cuttlefish, and nautiluses. Each are unique in their own ways. For instance the nautilus is the only cephalopod that does not hunt. They are found in all oceans.
