Detailed explanation-1: -Invertebrates: The animals that do not possess backbones are known as vertebrates. These animals are mostly soft-bodied. For example Earthworms, snails, sponges, etc.

Detailed explanation-2: -Animals without backbones are called invertebrates. They range from well known animals such as jellyfish, corals, slugs, snails, mussels, octopuses, crabs, shrimps, spiders, butterflies and beetles to much less well known animals such as flatworms, tapeworms, siphunculids, sea-mats and ticks.

Detailed explanation-3: -Invertebrates do not have backbones or internal skeletons, but some have hard coverings. Insects, spiders, worms, snails, and most ocean animals are invertebrates. Invertebrates come in every shape and color imaginable!

Detailed explanation-4: -Invertebrates are those organisms that lack a spine or back bone. They evolved before vertebrates and are generally a simpler form of life having a simple notochord or simple nervous system. The support and structure that comes from the backbone come from other structures in invertebrates.
