Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.
