Difference between Arthropod and Malacostraca

Arthropod vs. Malacostraca

An arthropod (from Greek ἄρθρον arthron, "joint" and πούς pous, "foot") is an invertebrate animal having an exoskeleton (external skeleton), a segmented body, and paired jointed appendages. Malacostraca is the largest of the six classes of crustaceans, containing about 40,000 living species, divided among 16 orders.

Appendage

In invertebrate biology, an appendage (or outgrowth) is an external body part, or natural prolongation, that protrudes from an organism's body (in vertebrate biology, an example would be a vertebrate's limbs).
