Grasshoppers have a hard 'shell' (which is their exoskeleton), a skeleton worn on the outside of the body to protect soft tissues, rather than an endoskeleton (like what humans have) which is a support framework mostly located within the tissues.

Grasshoppers kind of have rough skin because they are invertebrates therefore they have a hard exoskeleton. So, they kind of do and do not have rough "skin." I really do hope this helps.

Grasshoppers are insects, and as such, they have a shell, or more precisely an exoskeleton, made of a protein called chitin.
