Answer 2

Answer:

A living fossil is Limulus.

Explanation:

• A species or group of species that serves as a living fossil for an otherwise extinct group of species is known as a living fossil.
• It has undergone such minimal structural and functional change over a very long time that it sheds light on earlier extinct species.
• The horseshoe crab (Limulus polyphemus) is a living fossil form that is nearly identical to the species that existed 230 million years ago during the Triassic period and 400 million years ago in the Devonian.
• Charles Darwin created the phrase "living fossils" to refer to organisms that haven't altered in millions of years.
• The horseshoe crab (Limulus) is a member of the xiphosura order and family Limulidae. Limulus is a living fossil as a result.
