That's called mimicry. It can be used in a warning way, when a harmless hoverfly looks like a wasp for example, or to blend in with colonies, when certain beetles look like termites to enter their territory without being attacked, or even in an aggressive way when jumping Spiders look and behave like ants to snatch their larvae.

Is a rollypoly a arthropod?

Yes, the slater, also known as the woodlouse or "roly poly bug" is an arthropod, of the family Armadillidiidae. They are among the crustacean arthropods that can be found on land, though they need to be in a moist environment.
