How would taking in water or air before a new exoskeleton hardens help an arthropod?
Arthropod means "jointed legs," because arthropods are covered with a hard skin ("crab shells" are the hard skin of crabs) and they move by flexing joints along their hard skin. When they grow, they have to grow inside their hard skin. But, if the skin is too tight, there's no space! By taking in air or water when their shell is still soft, arthropods can "pump up" and make a nice roomy shell to grow in. When they fill that shell up, they crawl out of it, and then pump up the soft skin underneath. The pumped up soft skin hardens into hard skin, and the arthropod is ready to keep growing.

well i don't know about non arthropods but this is what i know about arthropods:- Arthropods have jointed legs and a head and segmented body parts called the thorax and abdomen. An arthropod's body is covered by a shell or a hard outer skin called an exoskeleton. It is made of a material called chitin. The exoskeleton has a special top layer, the cuticle, which is thick and tough. In crustaceans, the exoskeleton is sometimes called the carapace and hides the segmented body parts. by kira 7G
