An arthropod is an invertebrate animal having an exoskeleton (external skeleton), a segmented body, and jointed appendages. Arthropods are members of the Phylum Arthropoda (from Greek ἄρθρον arthron, "joint", and ποδός podos "foot", which together mean "jointed feet"), and include the insects, arachnids, crustaceans, and others. Arthropods are characterized by their jointed limbs and cuticles, which are mainly made of α-chitin; the cuticles of crustaceans are also biomineralized with calcium carbonate. The rigid cuticle inhibits growth, so arthropods replace it periodically by molting. The arthropod body plan consists of repeated segments, each with a pair of appendages. It is so versatile that they have been compared to Swiss Army knives, and it has enabled them to become the most species-rich members of all ecological guilds in most environments. They have over a million described species, making up more than 80% of all described living species, and are one of only two animal groups that are really successful in dry environments - the other being the amniotes. They range in size from microscopic plankton up to forms a few meters long.

arthropoda- jointed foot
The term 'arthropod' comes from the Greek arthro [arthron] (joint) and pod [pous, podos] (meaning foot or leg) hence, the jointed appendages characterization of the phylum.

Arthropoda
The phylum arthropoda takes its name from the Greek for "jointed foot" or jointed leg; arthropods are characterized by their jointed appendages.
animals within the phylum Arthropoda
Hard exoskeleton, jointed appendages
Yes, phylum arthropoda (the arthropods) are defined and classified by virtue of this very characteristic, their jointed appendages.
Insects.
Insects, arachnids (spiders, scorpions), crustaceans (crabs, shrimp), and myriapods (millipedes, centipedes) belong to the phylum Arthropoda. This phylum is characterized by having jointed legs and a hard exoskeleton.
Bees are within the phylum arthropoda. Arthropods are characterized by their jointed limbs and cuticles. This phylum also includes all insects, arachnids, and crustaceans.
