heyy dear rihan ur answer...............

Tunicates, commonly called sea squirts, are a group of marine animals that spend most of their lives attached to docks, rocks or the undersides of boats. To most people they look like small, colored blobs. It often comes as a surprise to learn that they are actually more closely related to vertebrates like ourselves than to most other invertebrate animals...............

Heya brainliac!


☆The organisms of the sub- phylum : Urichordata are known as "TUNICATA" .


☆These organisms are called so due to the presence of "TUNIC " .


☆Tunic is basically made of tunicin.. which is a polysacchride. ( carbohydrate) . It's chemical
structure is similar to "cellulose" . hence, tunicin is also known as "Animal cellulose".


☆ Some examples of the urochordata / tunicata are :

• Ascidia
• Salpa
• Pyrosoma
• Herdmania
• Doliolum etc.
