A snail is a slow-moving mollusk with a coiled shell on its back, while a slug is similar but lacks a visible shell, making it more vulnerable but also more flexible.
Snail vs. Slug

The shell of a snail is not just a home, but also a storage of calcium and a place for muscle attachment, which is absent in slugs, giving them a more flexible but less protected body.

Snails can retract into their shell for protection or during dry conditions, a survival strategy not available to slugs due to their lack of a substantial shell.

Both snails and slugs are gastropods, but their adaptation to different environmental conditions has led to the snail's development of a shell, while the slug has evolved to survive without one.
