Why are horseshoe crabs in the subphylum chelicerata and why are they unique?
Horseshoe crabs are in subphylum Chelicerata because they have four pairs of walking legs, a pair of pedipalps, and a pair of chelicerae.

They have two tagmata: cephalothorax and abdomen. All of these characteristics apply to organisms in subphylum Chelicerata, and so horseshoe crabs are in subphylum Chelicerata.
