A frog is on the underside of the hoof.
What is the legal minimum depth of tread on a motorcycle tyre in the UK ?

Correct.
1.6mm is the limit for cars, so why it is less for bikes, which seem more at risk from dodgy tyres, is a mystery.
M/c tyres are skinnier and more rounded so don’t really build up a wall of water that can cause aquaplaning. Plus, you wouldn’t take a bend at the sort of speeds in the wet on a bike compared to a car. Well, I wouldn’t anyway!
When can you have less than 1mm of tread on some bikes and what are those requirements?

On anything less than 50 cc, you just need to see the original tread pattern. As for taking corners at speed, that is what knee sliders are for.
Correct.
I have sole sliders!

Reminds me of years ago when I used a motorcycle for work. It snowed, so I told a customer I wouldn't be round as I was on a MC and it had snowed. "Surely you'd be safer on a bike " she said " you can put your feet down".
