Does an octopus have legs or tentacles?

[Edit]

Arms

Surprisingly, an octopus has neither legs nor tentacles. It has arms, which have suction cups on the underside. Most people think they have tentacles, but common octopuses do not. In fact, tentacles are merely flexible extentions. Squids and cuttlefish have such things as tentacles.
