GOOD MORNING,Dear
The organisms belonging to the Protochordata are generally known as the lower chordates. They don’t form a “proper” taxonomic group and are only classified as such for convenience purposes. However, they do form a major division of Chordata. They are also known as Acraniata because they lack a true skull. They are divided into three sub-phyla- Hemichordata, Urochordata, Cephalochordata.
Characteristics of Protochordata
1)They are generally found in marine water.
2)Their body is bilaterally symmetrical, triploblastic, and coelomated.
3)At a certain stage of their lives, their body develops a long, rod-like structure for support called notochord.
4)They exhibit organ system level of organization.
