An octopus has eight legs, which is where its name comes from ("octo" meaning eight in Greek). These legs are actually called arms, and they are lined with two rows of suction cups that the octopus uses to grip and manipulate objects. Additionally, the arms are extremely flexible and can be used for a variety of purposes, such as hunting, crawling, and defending against predators.
