Radula

Real World Example

Imagine trying to remove the last bit of peanut butter from the bottom of a jar with a spoon that just doesn’t quite reach all the corners. This is similar to how a snail uses its radula to scrape food off surfaces like a tiny, specialized tool. Just as you might angle and maneuver the spoon to gather every bit of spread, the radula acts as a flexible, tonguelike organ covered with tiny teeth, allowing the snail to effectively reach and scrape up food particles from surfaces it encounters.
