Question

Describe the movement in snail.

Open in App
Solution

Snail moves using a muscular organ called foot that produces a slimy substance called mucous. The snail crawls on the layer of mucous. The sticky mucous reduces friction between the foot and the ground by offering a smoother surface to crawl on, thus enabling the snail to move on a variety of surfaces. The muscular foot produces wave-like movements that push the snail's body forward.
