Mollusca, meaning âsoft-bodied,â is one of the largest phylums in the animal kingdom. The word mollusc (or mollusk) derives from the Latin word âmollis,â which means âsoft.â There are an estimated 200,000 species of mollusk worldwide accounting for nearly a quarter of all marine life.Familiar phylum species include snails, squid, octopuses, clams and oysters.ephalopods. The 600 to 650 species of cephalopod inhabit the sea, including squid, octopuses, and cuttlefish. Most lack the shell of other mollusca, but have tentacles that propel them through the water using suction.
Phylum Arthropoda and Phylum Mollusca are the largest diversified groups with great number of species in animal Kingdom. This article outlines the features of each phylum, and thereby attempts to explain the difference between crustaceans and molluscs (mollusks).ll the mollusks except cephalopods have muscular foot as the organ of locomotion. Other than for locomotion, muscular foot is also used for attachment, food capture, digging, etc. All the organs including excretory, digestive and reproductive organs are found in a visceral mass.
