Also known as the invertebrates, invertebrates, invertebrate animal, Invertebrata
Invertebrates are animals that neither develop nor retain a vertebral column (commonly known as a spine or backbone), which evolved from the notochord. It is a paraphyletic grouping including all animals excluding the chordate subphylum Vertebrata, i.e. vertebrates. Well-known phyla of invertebrates include arthropods, molluscs, annelids, echinoderms, flatworms, cnidarians, and sponges.
AI overview
Invertebrates are animals without a spine or backbone, making up the vast majority of animal species on Earth and including familiar groups like insects, squid, worms, and starfish. They matter because understanding these diverse animals—which range from tiny sponges to large octopuses—is essential to understanding the full picture of animal life and ecosystems.
