The foot of the squid is it's tentacles, it enables the squid to move very very very very very very very fast. The foot is also the mantle of the squid (the mantle is a thick layer of tissues {muscle} all mollusks use to protect their guts). In this case the squid uses it's mantle to run away from predators (swim away).
The foot of a squid is known as the funnel or siphon. It is a muscular structure used for jet propulsion by taking in water and expelling it forcefully to propel the squid through the water. The funnel helps squids move quickly and efficiently in their underwater environment.
