Yes, they are arachnids, because they are classified as part of the order Parasitiformes. Ticks are external parasites that live on the blood of mammals, birds, and sometimes reptiles and amaphibians.

Yes! Ticks are arachnids.

A tick has a prosoma (the head section) and the abdomen. Ticks are also predators that hunt other insects.
