Isopods molt to grow and to replace damaged or worn exoskeletons. As they grow, their rigid exoskeleton becomes too small, so they shed it in a process called ecdysis. This allows them to increase in size and maintain their mobility. Additionally, molting helps them remove parasites and adapt to environmental changes.
