Answer:
Anthropodes like cockroaches and termites have Chitinous exoskeleton. It is a very hard substance but some arthropods have calcium carbonate to make it very hard.
Explanation:
The exoskeleton of an arthropod is made up of a 'tough, and hard' outer shell. It is produced mainly with chitin, which is a very 'strong material' related to cellulose. The animal has to molt, or shed its old skeleton after growing a new, larger one underneath it.
