उत्तर
- Arthropods make up the majority of the animal kingdom and are the most successful category of creatures. They comprise more than three-quarters of all currently known living and extinct species and have conquered the land, sea, and air.
- Their range extends from high summits to the deep sea. The exoskeleton, which shields the creature from predators, helps it tolerate temperatures of up to 100°C or more, and stops water loss, is made up of thick, durable, non-living chitinous cuticle.
- They can reproduce quickly, and it takes them less time for their eggs to hatch into offspring.
- There is less rivalry for food between the larval and adult forms as a result of metamorphosis. Cockroaches can withstand radioactive decay and toxic soil conditions.
- The largest phylum of animals is the arthropods because of all these criteria.
