How is exoskeleton managed Because they can't grow?

Exoskeletons are managed through a process called molting, where the organism sheds its old exoskeleton to allow for growth. During this process, the animal secretes a new, softer exoskeleton underneath the old one, which hardens after molting. The timing and frequency of molting can vary among species and are influenced by factors such as age, environmental conditions, and availability of resources. This adaptation enables arthropods and other exoskeleton-bearing organisms to grow despite their rigid outer structure.
