[
Land snails move by gliding along on their muscular foot, which is lubricated with mucus and covered with epithelial cilia. This motion is powered by succeeding waves of muscular contractions that move down the ventral of the foot. ... Snails secrete mucus externally to keep their soft bodies from drying out.

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