What is Decapoda: Crustacean Classification Overview about?

The Decapoda, or decapods, is a large order of crustaceans that includes crabs, lobsters, shrimp, and prawns, with nearly 15,000 extant species and a significant fossil record. They are characterized by having ten legs and can have up to 38 appendages, with their evolution tracing back to the Late Ordovician period. Classification within Decapoda is based on gill and leg structure, leading to two main suborders: Dendrobranchiata and Pleocyemata.
