Insects have exoskeletons to give them structure.

Unlike humans, whose bones and muscles help them to move, in insects the structure that protects them and also provides them the structure is called an exoskeleton.


Insects are referred to as invertebrates, unlike mammals. This states that insects tend to lack an internal skeleton. Instead of an internal skeleton, the insects possess an exoskeleton that is specifically situated external side of their bodies. The exoskeleton is useful in the following ways:

  • Provide protection to the internal organs of the insects by providing them a structure
  • Prevents the internal organs from getting dried out
  • Gets attached to the muscles of the insects
  • Allow the insects to collect information regarding the environment


Thus, we can conclude that the exoskeleton is the insect’s structure that helps in protecting them and further provides them the structure. Hence, the correct answer is option C.
