Question

Which of the following is a locomotory organ in a snail?

• A. Outer snail
• B. Muscular foot
• C. Muscular rings
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B Muscular foot

A snail propels itself by deforming a layer of mucus beneath it via muscular contractions in its foot muscle. This unique form of locomotion allows snails to traverse almost any obstacle, including the ability to climb steep inclines.

Thus, the locomotory organ in snail is the 'muscular foot'.
