An arhtropod is a type of invertebrate animal (like insects, spiders, and crustaceans). According to , arthropods have a "segmented body and jointed appendages, a usually chitinous exoskeleton molted at intervals, and a dorsal anterior brain connected to a ventral chain of ganglia", but you don’t have to remember all that.
