Answer: NO
Explanation:
Nematoda: (Basically Roundworms) Is a phylum in the kingdom Animalia which includes organisms having unsegmented bilateral symmetry with a circular cross-section.
E.g: Rhabditis, Ascaris, Wucheria(Filarial worm)
As far as notochord is concerned, it is found in the "CHORDATA" phylum and not in NEMATODA.
Notochord: It is a long rod like structure that runs along the back of the animal separating the nervous system from the gut.
