artrópodos
Artrópodos are members of the phylum Arthropoda, the largest phylum in the animal kingdom. They are characterized by their segmented bodies, a tough exoskeleton made of chitin, and jointed appendages. This exoskeleton provides protection and support, but it must be shed periodically through a process called molting to allow for growth. The segmented body is typically divided into three main parts: the head, the thorax, and the abdomen, though in some groups, these may be fused.
Jointed appendages are a defining feature and are highly adapted for various functions, including locomotion, feeding,
The success of artrópodos is attributed to several key factors, including their exoskeleton, their segmented bodies
