What are the reasons that you can think of for the arthropods to constitute the largest group of the animal kingdom?
The reasons for the success of arthropods are as follows. (i) Jointed legs that allow more mobility on land. (ii) Hard exoskeleton made of chitin that protects the body from the harsh conditions. (iii) The hard exoskeleton also reduces water loss from the body making them more adapted to terrestrial conditions.
