Arthropods are a diverse group of invertebrate animals characterized by a hard exoskeleton, jointed appendages, and a segmented body.
They include insects, spiders, scorpions, crustaceans, and centipedes, among others.
Arthropods are found in nearly all ecosystems on Earth and play important roles as pollinators, predators, and decomposers.
Their exoskeleton provides them with protection and support, while their appendages allow them to move, feed, and communicate. Arthropods have developed a wide variety of adaptations to survive in different environments and are one of the most successful groups in the animal kingdom.
