The snail's "tongue" is known as the radula. It is covered with chitinous teeth, which the snail uses to scrape plant matter (if it's a herbivorous species) or flesh (if it's a carnivorous species) for feeding.

yes it is because like a snail shell protects the snail the mug protects the liquid inside it.
Snails are invertebrates and have no interior skeletal structure. The snail's outer skin layer, the section called the "mantle" secretes calcium carbonate from which the snail's shell takes form and grows with the snail. The snail shell could be loosely referred to as an exoskeleton as it serves as a retreat and protective housing for the snail's organs.
No. Snails do not have a gland or other biological structure that creates musk.
Invertebrate. No spine or internal bone structure.
The scratchy tongue-like organ of many mollusks is the RADULA.
The gender of a snail can typically be determined by examining its reproductive organs. Snails are hermaphrodites, meaning they have both male and female reproductive parts. By observing the structure and location of these organs, one can determine the gender of a snail.
A squid's tentacles are homologous to the snail's foot.
No, snails do not have the cognitive capacity to understand complex concepts like quantum physics. Their brain structure is not equipped for such high-level thinking.
A snail does not produce its own food:A snail breaks up its food using the radula, which is a chitinous structure containing microscopic hooks called cuticulae. With this the snail scrapes at food, which is then transferred to the digestive tract. This is why, in a quiet setting, a large land snail can be heard 'crunching' its food: the radula is tearing away at what it is eating.

Gastropod literally means "stomach-foot" the bottom of the snail (where it inches along) is called the foot. In its visceral mass is the stomach where you get the term stomach foot or gastropod.
