∙ 11y agoThe funnel of a squid is used for jet propulsion, in which case the squid shoots out a stream of fast-moving water. The squid moves the opposite way the funnel is faced. The funnel can be moved in different directions allowing the squid to move different directions. The funnel is also used to expel wastes and ink.
