What does chelicerata mean?
Chelicerata is a subphylum of the phylum Arthropoda. It contains organisms like spiders, ticks, and scorpions. Organisms in Subphylum Chelicerata have a cephalothorax and a posterior abdomen. They have six pairs of appendages on their cephalothorax: Chelicerae, pedipalps, and four walking legs. Chelicerae are pinchers that crush food, and pedipalps are appendages that control food. They do not have mandibles, which are jaws, and they don't have antennae, so organisms in Subphylum Chelicerata technically aren't insects.

Why are horseshoe crabs in the subphylum chelicerata and why are they unique?
Horseshoe crabs are in subphylum Chelicerata because they have four pairs of walking legs, a pair of pedipalps, and a pair of chelicerae. Pedipalps control food, and chelicerae are pinchers that crush food. Horseshoe crabs also don't have mandibles, which are jaws, and they don't have antennae. They have two tagmata: cephalothorax and abdomen. All of these characteristics apply to organisms in subphylum Chelicerata, and so horseshoe crabs are in subphylum Chelicerata.
