In taxonomy, arthropods would not be an order but a much larger grouping called a phylum (phylum Arthropoda). Taxa are hierarchical, with the smaller divisions below phyla being subphyla, and within them, the classes/subclasses, then below that, the Orders. You might say that phylum Arthropoda has a lot of orders "inside it."

Yes, flies are arthropods. Phylum arthropoda has subgroup (clade) Pancrustacea containing Hexapoda and below it, the true insects, Insectae. Flies are in order Diptera (in several groupings below Insecta.)
The body of arthropods is physically supported by an external skeleton (exoskeleton) made of a tough protein called chitin. Because it is inflexible, arthropods need to shed it entirely in order to grow in size.
Yes, in arthropods the exoskeleton detaches during moulting, and is completely shed in order for the organism to increase in size. After a while the new, softer skin hardens.
Insecta (the insects) are the only invertebrates to have flight capability, found under subphylum Hexapoda below the arthropods (phylum Arthropoda). Winged insects are under subclass Pterygota.
Yes, arthropods have to moult in order to increase in size, because their exoskeleton is rigid and inhibits growth. The process is called ecdysis and is not limited only to arthropods; it is a characteristic of their clade, ecdysozoa, which includes nematodes and other phyla.
According to Biologists, arthropods must undergo a molting process where they shed their exoskeletons in order for them to grow.
Yes, owing to their hard chitinous exoskeleton, arthropods are compelled to shed (moult) periodically in order to grow, a process called ecdysis.
They express the characteristics inherent to arthropods. All insects are arthropods. Not all arthropods are insects.

Since the external covering (exoskeleton) is inflexible, it's necessary for arthropods to periodically shed it (moult) in order to grow, a process called ecdysis.
NO Mammals are not arthropods. Arthropods are insects.

arthropods are eukaryotic because arthropods are animals.

No, people are not arthropods.
