Roly polies, or pillbugs, are terrestrial crustaceans that primarily breathe air through gill-like structures. While they can survive short periods submerged in water, they cannot breathe underwater like fish. Prolonged exposure can lead to suffocation, as they need to return to a moist environment to breathe effectively. Therefore, they are not adapted to live underwater.

Roly polies, also known as pill bugs, breathe through structures called pleopods, which are located on their abdomen.
