Snails primarily get their energy from the food they consume, which mainly includes plant material such as leaves, fruits, and decaying organic matter. They utilize a specialized structure called the radula to scrape and ingest food. The digestion of this food provides them with the necessary nutrients and energy for growth, movement, and reproduction. Additionally, some species may also derive energy from algae and microorganisms.
