Cockroach belongs to phylum arthropods. This is justified as following:
Arthropods are characterized by their jointed appendages, which are their legs, and tough exoskeletons. An exoskeleton is essentially what it sounds like: an external skeleton. It is a protective covering made of protein and a hard substance called chitin. Although this outer covering varies in thickness and flexibility, in arthropods such as cockroaches it is akin to a coat of armor.
