Question

Explain the movement of a snail.

Answer 1

Answer:

The sticky mucous reduces the friction between the foot and the ground (or any other surface) by offering a smoother surface to crawl on and 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.

Answer 2

Answer:

The snail moves with the help of a muscular organ known as the foot. The muscles in the foot contract and relax, which makes a wave like move. It also secrets a slimy substance known as mucous. This enables the snail to move with ease.
