Mollusca is a large phylum of invertebrate animals that includes snails, clams, oysters, and octopuses, as well as several other types of animals. Mollusks are characterized by their soft bodies and the presence of a mantle, which is a layer of tissue that covers their internal organs and often secretes a shell. Most mollusks also have a muscular foot that they use for movement and a radula, which is a ribbon-like structure used for feeding.
