Arthropods include an incredibly diverse group of taxa such as insects, crustaceans, Spiders, scorpions, and centipedes. There are far more species of arthropods than species in all other phyla combined, and the number of undescribed species in the largest assemblage of arthropods, the insects, probably numbers in the tens of millions. Members of the phylum have been responsible for the most devastating plagues and famines mankind has known. Yet other species of arthropods are essential for our existence, directly or indirectly providing us with food, clothing, medicines, and protection from harmful organisms.

What are the type of birth is common in arthropods?

Arthropods commonly reproduce through sexual reproduction, with fertilization typically occurring internally. Many species lay eggs, which can be fertilized before or after being laid, depending on the type of arthropod. Some arthropods, like certain insects, exhibit oviparous reproduction, while others, such as some species of scorpions, can be viviparous, giving birth to live young. Additionally, some arthropods undergo a process called parthenogenesis, where females produce offspring without fertilization from males.
