Squids and other mollusks have a complex digestive system.
In their mouth, there is a rough tongue called the radula that many mollusks possess, as
well as a horny beak composed of chitin. This beak can shred their prey into manageable
pieces to aid in the digestive process. Digestive organs can be found in the visceral
mass. Food that they ingest is processed in the stomach, which is part of their
digestive system. It then goes to their caecum where further digestion takes place. Food
then travels to their liver for further processing and absorption so that their cells
will be able to use the nutrients. At the end of this digestive tract is a rectum. Here,
the foods that they were unable to digest, become the solid waste which is then egested
from the body.
