How to use "Invertebrate" in context?
An invertebrate is an animal that lacks a backbone. This group of animals includes single-celled organisms such as sponges, jellyfish, and anemones, as well as more complex creatures such as worms, slugs, and cuttlefish. Some invertebrates have a hard outer shell, like clams and barnacles, while others, like sea stars, have a soft body instead.
