Roundworms molt to grow, as their rigid cuticle does not stretch. This process, known as ecdysis, allows them to shed their old exoskeleton and form a new, larger one. Molting is essential for their development and maturation, enabling them to adapt to changing environments and life stages. Additionally, it helps remove parasites and damaged tissues.
