How are arthropods able to grow bigger within their exoskeleton?
Because of a process called Ecdysis (also known as moulting) arthropods are able to grow bigger. In ecdysis old exoskeleton is shed and new one (slightly bigger) covers the body.
Why is molting necessary for arthropod growth?
Because of the composition of the exoskeleton. It must of necessity be tough to serve its function. Since it is inflexible, the organism has to periodically shed it (moult) in order to grow; a process called ecdysis.
