An animal (insect) with an exoskeleton still grows under its exoskeleton like any other animal (insect). The exoskeleton is like a suit of armor, when the animal (insect) grows to big to fit inside its exoskeleton it sheds it, and a newer exoskeleton will grow to fit the animal (insect).

Why can't plants support their own weight?
Plants are not able to support their own weight because they don't have an internal skeleton like animals do. Instead, they rely on external support structures like the cell wall, interlocking branches and roots, and external support from other plants or structures. Plants also lack muscles and therefore the ability to actively move and contract to support their own weight. The main reasons why plants can't support their own weight are: No internal skeleton Reliance on external support Lack of musclesWithout these key components, plants are unable to develop the strength and resilience to support their own weight.
What is an external skeleton and an internal skeleton?
Skeletons:All animals, including humans have skeletons. Humans have an internal skeleton. This means that our bones is on the inside of us. When an animal has an external skeleton it means that their skeleton is on the outside. These animals who have an external skeleton have what we commonly call shells. These shells are their skeleton which keeps their insides together.

Underwater, however, animals like jellyfish and octopi have no need for backbones, because there is less of a pull from gravity. They have no real need for a backbone, so they don't grow one.

The shells of mollusks (snails, clams, etc) are also exoskeletons. In contrast to the internal skeleton, the external skeleton is not only designed to support but also protect the animal's body. An invertebrate is an animal that does not have a spine. Some invertebrates have exoskeletons, such as insects and crustaceans. Others, such as worms, slugs and jellyfish, have neither an internal nor external skeleton. Some animals, like the tortoise or turtle, have both an exoskeleton and an endoskeleton
