Octopuses and squid are related and are grouped into a group called the cephalopods. This cephalopod group is a class in the Phylum Mollusca called Class Cephalopoda. The name Cephalopoda has the etymology meaning 'head foot'. Classes and phyla fall into the subject of Linnaean classification, also called taxonomy.
