        What is the role of radula in molluscs?

    Answer:

                      The radula is a special rasping structure found in many molluscs. It is used to scrape and scratch the food and to create depressions in rocks which molluscs use as their habitat. The radula bears many rows of tiny teeth that are replaced as they wear down. e.g., Limpetis a marine invertebrate that uses its radula for creating home by boring a shallow hole in the rock.
