Snails may play dead as a defense mechanism to avoid predation. When threatened, they can retract into their shells and secrete mucus, which can make them less appealing to predators. This behavior can help them blend in with their surroundings and buy time until the danger has passed. Additionally, playing dead can deter some predators that may prefer more active prey.

Yes, snails are detrivores as they mainly feed on decaying plant material, algae, and dead animals. They play an essential role in breaking down organic matter and recycling nutrients in their environment.

Snails do not eat living things, they decompose dead matter. I suppose if it was a chopped off, dead root the snail would decompose it. But it won't eat it as long as it's still alive.
