Pila(Snail)

Snail is a common name that is applied most often to land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod molluscs. However, the common name 'snail' is also applied to most of the members of the molluscan class Gastropoda that have a coiled shell that is large enough for the animal to retract completely into. When the word 'snail' is used in this most general sense, it includes not just land snails but also thousands of species of sea snails and freshwater snails.
