All organisms including arthropods SHOULD have characteristics which reflect effective adaptation to their environment for methods which optimize survival. By their obvious success, extensive domain on earth, and vast population one can infer that the observed characteristics meet the requirements for successful adaptation to their various habitats. Arthropod characteristics include joint appendages, an exoskeleton, and a segmented body.

A snail would not be classified as an arthropod; it is a mollusk. A starfish, on the other hand, is classified as an echinoderm, not an arthropod either. Arthropods include organisms like insects, arachnids, and crustaceans, characterized by their exoskeletons and segmented bodies. Therefore, neither the starfish nor the snail is an arthropod.
