Grasshoppers, and indeed most insects have an exoskeleton - a hard external shell. This helps the animal keep its shape and the position of the organs inside, and provides some mechanical protection.

The exoskeleton contains chitin - and if it also contains calcium carbonate, it becomes very hard indeed.

[The tortoise has both an exoskeleton and an endoskeleton!]
