What are Chordates?
|
|
|
Chordates are worm like creatures that can grow up to 4 cms long. They have a flexible rod and a nerve cord on their
backs, which are very similar to us. Fossils of these creatures are extremely rare, and they swam close to the ocean floor.
Many aspects of this organism are still unknown.

Pikaia, or chordates, are not arthropods because it does not have segmented bodies. It may look like it does, but actually
they are bundles of muscles.
