That’s where your tongue goes when you relax it. We imagine tongues as being flat, but that’s only when we make an effort to make them so. When relaxed, they fill up the mouth cavity, which is good because it keeps air out. This means a little saliva can keep all of your mouth moist and healthy.
The tongue is all muscle, which is the closest we humans have to a tentacle.
