This picture of a crab is an example of an exoskeleton. Exoskeletons are structures
found in some animals, characterized by having a rigid external covering that
is used for both protection and support. Many of the animals with exoskeletons
are arthropods like the crab in the picture. The crab’s hard outer shell
protects its vital organs, acting as a sort of armor, while also supporting its
structure.
