they have no foot
Snail trails, also known as slime trails, are made of mucus secreted by the snail's foot glands. This mucus helps the snail move smoothly across surfaces by reducing friction and helping them adhere to the ground.
I think that's either a snail or a slug (it's their secreted mucus from their muscular foot)
It is secreted by a portion of the snail body called the mantle.
One kind of snail mucus is produced by the foot and is used for crawling. The second kind of external mucus is used to coat the external parts of the body. This coating helps prevent desiccation of the exposed soft tissues.
To help it slide around more easily and reduce friction.
Snails move by alternating body contractions with stretching, with a proverbially low speed (1 mm/s is a typical speed for adult Helix lucorum [1]). They produce mucus in order to aid locomotion by reducing friction. The mucus also reduces the snail's risk of injury.It Has A Muscular Foot to Move and Borrow with
The answer to the riddle is the snail. A snail has a foot but no legs.
For lubrication and for infections
Mucus is secreted so that peristalsis can occur and can slide easily down you throat.
The answer to the riddle is the snail. A snail has a foot but no legs.
Snails use an undulating muscle called a foot to move. Secreted slime aids their movement by reducing friction between the two surfaces.
The scientific name for the trail left by a snail is "mucus trail." Snails produce mucus to aid in locomotion and protect themselves from rough surfaces.
