Explanation:

Animals are either vertebrates or invertebrates. Vertebrates are those with backbones and invertebrates are animals that do not have backbones. A lrge part of the animal kingdom are the invertebrates They are classified into phyla. Specifically, this group includes:

1. Phylum Porifera is a group of simple multicellular animals. Their bodies have several pores in their body. The pores and holes allow water to move through the body and filter out food and also absorb the dissolved oxygen, along with eliminating waste material. An example is a sponge.

2. Phylum Cnidaria is a group of invertebrates that have stinging cells called nematocysts. They are also referred to as coelenterates. They can be found solitarily or in colonies. Examples are starfish and hydra.

3. Phylum Platyhelminthes are flatworms. They are simple worm-like invertebrates that do not have a circulatory system and anuses. Examples are flukes and tapeworms.

4. Phylum Nematoda is a group of unsegmented roundworms. They can be parasites. Examples are hookworm, pinworm, and ascaris.

5. Phylum Molluska is a group of invertebrate animals that can be found both in water and on land. They are known as soft-bodied animals. Most have hard shells that protect their bodies from predators and the environment. Examples are squids bivalves, and snails.

6. Phylum Annelida is a group of invertebrates that are known to be segmented worms. Their digestive system stretches from mouth to anus. Examples are earthworms and leeches.

7. Phylum Arthropoda is a group of invertebrate animals with jointed legs. They also have exoskeletons made of chitin. It is the largest phylum in the animal kingdom. Arachnids, crustaceans, insects, millipedes, and centipedes belong to this group.

8. Phylum Echinoderm is a group of marine invertebrates with spiny skin. They are also radially symmetrical. Examples are star fish, sea urchin, and sea cucumber.
