Step-by-step explanation:

Arthropods are from the invertebrate family. It is a very diverse group and there are few characteristics that are common to all. One of them is that they all have segmented bodies.

Classification of arthopods:

1. Chelicerata: this group is characterized by having two appendages (chelicers) at the sides of the mouth to eat. Spiders and scorpions are an example of this group.

2. Miriapoda: they are terrestrial and have the particularity of having many legs. Among them are the Centipedes and Millipedes.

3. Crustacea: they are generally aquatic and have branched limbs. The crabs and lobsters are in this group.

4. Hexapoda: those in this group have 6 legs. This includes insects such as flies and beetles.
