Explanation:
Anthropods, though they generally possess exoskeleton, segmented bodies and joint appendages, are divided into four (4) groups:
Tracheata (breath through channels in their bodies. E.g. insects)Chelicerata (More than four legs, one pir of chelicerae i.e. claw or pincer. E.g. Scorpions and spiders)Crustaceans (Have a large rigid exoskeletal, without a circulatory system. E.g. Shrimps, crabs)Trilobite (extinct three-headed/lobed marine species)
Arthropod, any member of the phylum Arthropoda, the largest phylum in the animal kingdom, which includes such close forms as lobsters, crabs, spiders, mites, insects, centipedes, and millipedes. About 84 percent of all known species of animals are members of this phylum.
