In taxonomy, the phylum Arthropoda (arthropods) is a major category towards the top of the heirarchial tree. Notwithstanding there are several classifications above (higher). Arthropods are directly below a taxon Panarthropoda, which is under Ecdysozoa (moulters with a certain description of cuticle), Protostomia (bilaterally symmetric with a certain germ layer configuration), Bilateria (bilaterally symmetric); Eumetazoa (true tissues, with a certain embryonic phase), Metazoa (animals with a fixed type of body plan); Opisthokonta (broad taxon of eukaryotes with organized cell nuclei and certain other characteristics); Eukaryota (distinct cell nuclei); which falls under cellular organisms.
Arthropods are characterized by segmented bodies, an exoskeleton made from chitin, and joint appendages. They also have an internal body cavity (hemocoel) and an open circulatory system which employs hemolymph.
