Answer:

Octopus and Squid use their ink as a defense mechanism to escape from prey.

Step-by-step explanation:

When feeling threatened, they can release large amounts of ink into the water using their siphon. This ink creates a dark cloud that can obscure the predators view so the cephalopod can jet away quickly.
