The hard outer covering that protects some animals, like spiders

Real World Example

Imagine trying to carry a fragile glass ornament without breaking it. Just like you might wrap the ornament in bubble wrap to protect it from impacts, an exoskeleton serves as a protective layer for certain animals, like spiders. In this analogy, the ornament is the soft and vulnerable body of the spider, while the bubble wrap is the hard, outer exoskeleton that shields it from harm.
