Summary Introduction
To review:
The features of arthropods that help them to colonize the terrestrial habitat.
Introduction:
The phylum Arthropoda shows the presence of jointed legs, segmented body, and an outer covering called exoskeleton, which are some distinct features of all its members. Different adaptations are found in arthropods that make them suitable for inhabiting the land.
