Arthropods molt to grow and develop. Molting allows them to shed their exoskeleton and replace it with a larger one as they grow. This process is essential for arthropods to accommodate their increasing size and to continue their life cycle.


How are arthropods supported?

The body of arthropods is physically supported by an external skeleton (exoskeleton) made of a tough protein called chitin. Because it is inflexible, arthropods need to shed it entirely in order to grow in size.
