Question

What is the purpose of a shell in a snail? Does it help others movement ?

Answer 1

This structure protects the snail from the environment and even from predators. It is made up of calcium carbonate which makes it strong and remains that way as long as the snail consumes food with calcium.

Its surface can show different colors with fringe designs, but they usually are brown or yellow. The shell protects the body and internal organs of the animal and has an opening to one side, usually the right.
