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).
