The apex of a snail refers to the topmost part of its shell, which is formed as the snail grows. Snails use their shells primarily for protection against predators and environmental conditions. The apex, being the oldest part of the shell, provides structural stability and contributes to the overall shape, helping the snail to retreat into its shell when threatened. Additionally, the shell can assist in moisture retention, which is vital for the snail's survival.

What is the youngest part of the snail shell?
The youngest part of the snail shell is the apex, or the tip of the shell, which is formed first during the snail's development. As the snail grows, it adds new layers to the shell, typically in a spiral manner, meaning the older, more mature parts of the shell are located further down and away from the apex. The growth occurs as the snail secretes calcium carbonate, which contributes to the shell's overall structure and size.
