Also called an isopod, they are small bugs. They are also known as rollypollys and sow bugs these bugs have small "plates of armor". Isopods are great pets and some people even breed them. (I breed isopods). Thank you for the wonderful question,
Isopods have compound eyes that are capable of detecting light and movement, but their vision is generally considered to be poor. They rely more on their sense of touch and chemical receptors to navigate their environment.
Damp, dark, and terrestrial is the condition in which a woodlouse lives. The crustacean in question (Oniscideasuborder) lives on the ground in order to better eat moist, nutrient-rich decaying litter.

It falls under Isopoda -- "Shelled" crustaceans with 7 pairs of legs.
Woodlice form the suborder Oniscidea within the order Isopoda, with over 3,000 known species.
Yes and no. Isopoda are a big group of different animal life, some of which are plankton. Some others include regular cockroaches.
