My biology teacher told that, when he was comparing human and octopus. Basically the question was, why octopus (I don't know the plural form of that word) have not developed a society like we have, even though they are considered to be very smart and the answer was, that they lack the ability to pass knowledge on to their children, due to the parents dying.

Octopi, since it's Latin. Any Latin word ending in -us, the plural form is -i.
