Many invertebrate taxa have a greater number and variety of species than the entire subphylum of Vertebrata. Some of the so-called invertebrates, such as the Chaetognatha, Hemichordata, Tunicata and Cephalochordata are more closely related to the vertebrates than to other invertebrates.This makes the term invertebrate almost meaningless for taxonomic purposes.thers have hard exoskeletons, outer shells like those of insects and crustaceans.
