How does the squid use the siphon and mantle for locotion?

Squids use their siphon and mantle for locomotion by a process called jet propulsion. The mantle muscles contract, expelling water through the siphon, which creates a powerful thrust that propels the squid in the opposite direction. This rapid expulsion of water allows squids to move quickly and change direction swiftly, making them agile predators in the water. The flexibility of the siphon also enables them to adjust the angle of propulsion for more precise movement.
