Dear Friend,
As nouns the difference between notochord and backbone is that notochord is a flexible rodlike structure that forms the main support of the body in the lowest chordates; a primitive spine while backbone is the series of vertebrae, separated by disks, that encloses and protects the spinal cord, and runs down the middle of the back in vertebrate animals.

Spinal cord belongs to the nervous system, whereas backbone belongs to the skeletal system.
• Spinal cord is a long nerve sheath, whereas backbone is composed of vertebrae. Thus, backbone is segmented, unlike the spinal cord.
• Spinal cord lies inside the backbone.
• In an average human, backbone is longer than spinal cord.
• Backbone provides support for body and protects the spinal cord, whereas spinal cord controls the visceral activities throughout the body.
