Caterpillars are the larval forms of butterfly .Caterpillars shed their skin 3-5 times while they grow and this process is known as Molting.Their skin never grows as like human skin grows ,so while growing they had to crawl out their skin when their skin becomes too tight .After first molting they brings new skin covers and in the mean  time some caterpillars also eat their shed old skin .After they grow more ,they again shed their skin .

But in case of humans shedding of whole skin does not occurs because as human body grows ,cells also grows .In humans shedding of only dead skin cells occurs .

Answer:

As they develop, caterpillars shed their skin. The term "molting" refers to this action. They will gain growth from this shedding. Since the human body develops gradually, they do not lose skin.

Explanation:

  • Since caterpillars have an exoskeleton, which keeps them trapped within their skin, they must shed their skin in order to grow.
  • They must move out of their skin as it gets too tight for them because their skin does not expand with their body as it grows.
  • Caterpillars go through this process by molting three to five times before reaching adulthood. Human skin cells develop alongside bodily cells.
  • They must escape their skin as they grow because it gets too small for them. Caterpillars go through this process three to five times before they reach adulthood.
