Why would snails that live on land have ctenidia?

Land snails have ctenidia, or gill-like structures, adapted for gas exchange in a moist environment. While they primarily breathe air, these structures can help in oxygen absorption and may aid in maintaining moisture levels within their respiratory system. Ctenidia can also assist in removing carbon dioxide efficiently, enhancing their respiratory efficiency in terrestrial habitats.


What is the function of the ctenidia?
