the answer is cephalopods which means head-foot
Yes, an octopus is an cephalopod which means head foot. Other cephalopods include cuttlefish, squid, and an nautilus which is the only cephalopod that still carries a shell.
A snail is a mollusk, but not a cephalopod. That is; that they are in the Kingdom Animalia, and the Phylum Mollusca. Snails are actually members of the Class Gastropoda, which translates to "body-foot". Cephalopods belong to the Kingdom Animalia and the Phylum Mollusca, but their Class is Cephalopoda, which translates to "head-foot". Some common Cephalopods are octopi and squid.
What do Cephalopods eat?
The squid belongs to the class of Cephalopods, Chephal meaning head and pod meaning foot.
Sharks eat cephalopods
Cephalopods are a phylum of mollusks that include squids, octopi, the chambered nautilus, and cuttlefish. All cephalopods have tentacles, most are carnivores, and they are all mollusks. All mollusks have a radula, or toothy tongue, a mantle, or thin layer of tissue that covers the organs and makes the shell, and a muscular foot.
A cephalopod is any member of the molluscan class Cephalopoda ("head-feet"). These exclusively marine animals are characterized by bilateral body symmetry , a prominent head, and a set of arms or tentacles (muscular hydrostats) modified from the primitive molluscan foot. Fishermen sometimes call them inkfish, referring to their common ability to squirt ink. The study of cephalopods is a branch of malacology known as teuthology. here is an example: Bigfin reef squid
Cephalopods use their tentacles mainly to catch food.
Molluscs have a ventral foot. Foot may be variously modified according to the habit of the animal and its function.
Foot modified in siphon and tentacles or arms .
