Which set of body parts do all molluks have?

All mollusks possess a soft body divided into three main parts: the foot, which is used for movement; the visceral mass, which contains the internal organs; and the mantle, a protective layer that often secretes a shell. Additionally, most mollusks have a radula, a specialized feeding structure, although some, like bivalves, have lost this feature.
