An exoskeleton is a hard outer shell that covers the bodies of certain animals, like insects and dragonflies. Animals shed their exoskeletons as they grow, leaving behind the discarded shells you might find in nature.

El exoesqueleto (del griego ἔξω, éxō «exterior» y σκελετός, skeletos «esqueleto»), dermatoesqueleto, dermoesqueleto o esqueleto dérmico es el esqueleto externo continuo que recubre, protege y soporta el cuerpo de un animal, hongo o protoctista. Un dermoesqueleto recubre toda la superficie, de todos los animales del filo artrópodos (arácnidos, insectos, crustáceos, miriápodos y otros grupos relacionados), donde cumple una función protectora, de respiración y otra mecánica, proporcionando el sostén necesario para la eficacia del aparato muscular.
