Sometimes “one step” 㐄 /kʰˠuaᵡ/ is redrawn 五 when used as a component in larger characters, via ≪2B740≫= ⿻丿ユ. The stroke order is based on this decomposition ⿱一⿻丿ユ, so 丿 is the second stroke. Compare 乂.

Per Wiktionary, “a stylized , with bent wrist/forearm—hence the stroke at lower right. Earlier forms resemble 手, 寸. The original meaning of the glyph was “elbow”, which is now written 肘/チュウ←OC *tkuʔ→キュウ.

“After the meaning “elbow” was forgotten, 九 was taken to symbolize a fist tightening to bump up against something; thus, there is a metaphorical bumping up of nine against ten, which is the last number when counting on one's fingers.”

Or, as Henshall puts it, “less than perfect ten: worth only nine.” Thus, 乙 is the radical because 九 is an example of something less than perfect.
