The arthropods fall into a categorization (taxon) called a phylum (in taxonomic nomenclature there is an entity called a 'class' which is below the phyla). Arthropods have segmented bodies, an exoskeleton made from chitin, and joint appendages.

What is the main arthropod?

By count the most arthropod species fall under the Insecta class, with a million species described and millions estimated yet to be described. By count, insects are over half of all living animals and by some estimates may constitute up to ninety percent of all living animals on the earth. In biomass, krill take the top spot weighing in from up to half to three quarters of a billion tonnes, and thus having a huge significance in the food chain.


Do arthropods pollinate plants?

Yes. The most sophisticated example is the bee dance, with which bees tell eachother where food is to be found, how far away and in which direction. Arthropods also communicate a lot by pheromones, mainly to let partners know where they are and when they're fertile. Moth males can smell females miles away, but some spiders play into this by mimicking the female's scent! This, too, is communication... And of course, ants recognize members from their own colony by stroking antennae together, and they're not unique in this.


Which arthropod class are most aquatic?

Branchiopods appear to be entirely aquatic although some live in fresh and some in salt water. The arthropod subphylum Crustacea is rich with aquatic organisms, and the subphylum most prone to have mostly aquatic classes. The classes include Branchiopoda, Remipedia, Cephalocarida, Maxillopoda, Ostracoda and Malacostraca. Many of these will have non-aquatic exceptional species in their classification. The Cephalocarida for example are benthic but found in the intertidal zone. Malacostraca with the lobsters, crabs, shrimp etc. are mostly aquatic but again will evidence exceptions like the terrestrial woodlice. Ostracoda are again mostly aquatic, but have exceptions living on moist forest soil, etc.

What are the three parts of a arthropod's body?

A typical arthropod, such as an ant, has three body sections - head, thorax and abdomen.However, the phylum "arthropoda" which literally translates to "jointed foot" (or, by extension, "jointed leg") includes more than a million species, some of which (the lobster, for instance) have as many as eight body sections, and others such as the arachnids (spiders), only two.For a basic science test, 3 is probably the answer.

What class of arthropod is round?

No one arthropod class has members with predominantly round body shapes, particularly since classes are so broad and each usually have so many species. Horseshoe crabs under class Merostomata have a roundish body shape and somewhat hemi-spheroidal (oblate); the barnacles under class Maxillopoda have examples which are noticeably round, but not all. Some water fleas under class Branchopoda can be quite rounded.
