The crab's exoskeleton helps and supports its body. It protects the soft body of the crab. It is also waterproof, so it will protect it underwater, too.

What must the crab do to its skeleton whenit needs to grow?

When a crab needs to grow, it must molt its exoskeleton, which is a rigid outer structure that does not expand. During the molting process, the crab secretes a new, softer exoskeleton underneath the old one, then it sheds the old shell. After molting, the new exoskeleton hardens, allowing the crab to grow larger. This process is essential for crabs and other arthropods to accommodate their increasing size.


When must arthropods molt?

When it grows to big for its exoskeleton, like a hermit crab.
