Scorpions do not have an endoskeleton; instead, they possess an exoskeleton made of chitin, which provides support and protection. This external skeleton must be periodically shed through a process called molting as the scorpion grows. Unlike endoskeletons found in vertebrates, an exoskeleton limits growth and requires this regular shedding to accommodate the scorpion's size.
