What structure do snails use for feeding?
Most land snails eat plants and other vegetation. Snails eat mostly living plants as well as decaying plants. They also chew on fruits and young succulent plant barks. Snails also eat algae. A snail has something called radula in its mouth for grinding up its food. This radula is like a rough tongue, something like a file with rows of tiny teeth, which it uses to scrape off leaves and flowers to eat. Snails can also gnaw through limestone. They eat the little bits of chalk in the rock, which they need for their shells (calcium). Many people get upset and farmers get angry when snails eat their plants and crops. Snails can cause serious damage to crops.
