An exoskeleton provides support and protection for arthropods, allowing them to thrive on land. It prevents desiccation by reducing water loss, which is crucial for survival in terrestrial environments. Additionally, the rigid structure offers a framework for muscle attachment, enabling movement and locomotion on solid surfaces. This adaptation has been essential for their diversification and success in various terrestrial habitats.
Actually, a fox belongs to the phylum Chordata, not Arthropoda. Arthropoda is a phylum that includes insects, spiders, and crustaceans, characterized by having jointed legs and a hard exoskeleton. Foxes are mammals with a backbone, fur, and give birth to live young.

Centipedes and millipedes have their own little section of Arthropoda and they live on land. And some crustanceans, such as pillbugs, live on land.
land animals need a way to keep from drying out. Arthropods may have beenthe first animals to live on land. Thire exoskellitons probely enabled them to do because they keep the arthropods from drying out.

Yes
the land
Yes
Yes all insects have an exoskeleton.
Gills, because lungs help it live on land.
ARTHROPODA AND ANNELIDA have organ system level of organization , have bilateral symmetry , are triploblastic , are heterotrophic , have complete digestive system and also show metameric segmentation .
Learn to live lightly on the land and you will help the entirety of the earth's environment, including Antarctica.
