Organisms with external skeletons, like many arthropods (e.g., crabs and insects), must undergo a process called molting or ecdysis to grow. During this process, they break down the old exoskeleton and produce a new, larger one underneath. After molting, they often take in water or air to expand their new exoskeleton before it hardens, allowing for increased size and growth. This cycle must be repeated multiple times throughout their life as they mature.
