The bark of a tree is hard due to its composition of rigid materials like cellulose and lignin, which provide structural support and protection against environmental factors. In contrast, the skin of a cat is soft because it is made up of flexible tissues, including collagen and elastin, which allow for movement and sensitivity. Additionally, the bark serves to protect the tree from physical damage and pests, while a cat's skin facilitates sensory functions and temperature regulation. This difference in hardness and softness reflects their distinct biological roles and adaptations.

There are two ways, you can tell visually by seeing if there is any sign of wrinkles on the shell, and if you cant tell visually, then just lightly poke the shell. If it gives way a little bit, you know it has a soft shell.

How would taking in water or air before a new exoskeleton hardens help an arthropod?
Arthropod means "jointed legs," because arthropods are covered with a hard skin ("crab shells" are the hard skin of crabs) and they move by flexing joints along their hard skin. When they grow, they have to grow inside their hard skin. But, if the skin is too tight, there's no space! By taking in air or water when their shell is still soft, arthropods can "pump up" and make a nice roomy shell to grow in. When they fill that shell up, they crawl out of it, and then pump up the soft skin underneath. The pumped up soft skin hardens into hard skin, and the arthropod is ready to keep growing.
