* Arthropods: Insects, spiders, crustaceans, and more. They have a hard exoskeleton.
* Mollusks: Snails, slugs, clams, octopuses, and squid. They often have a shell.
* Worms: Earthworms, flatworms, roundworms, and many more. They have soft, elongated bodies.
* Echinoderms: Starfish, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers. They have a spiny skin.
* Cnidarians: Jellyfish, corals, and sea anemones. They have tentacles with stinging cells.
* Sponges: Simple animals that filter feed.
* Other invertebrates: There are many other groups of invertebrates, including rotifers, tardigrades, and bryozoans.
So, instead of saying "animals no have backbone," you can say "invertebrates."
