Some of the major phyla in the animal kingdom include Porifera (sponges), Cnidaria (jellyfish, corals), Platyhelminthes (flatworms), Annelida (segmented worms), Mollusca (snails, clams), Arthropoda (insects, spiders), Echinodermata (starfish, sea urchins), and Chordata (vertebrates and close relatives).

The Major phylums in the animal kingdom are as follows.

INVERTEBRATES

Phylum: Porifera

Phylum: Coelenterata/ Cnidaria

Phylum: Platyhelminthes

Phylum: Nematehelminthes/ Aschelminthese

Phylum: Annelida

Phylum: Arthropoda

Phylum: Mollusca

Phylum: Echinodermata.

The phylum protozoa is now not treated as animal phylum and it is included under a separate kingdom called PROTISTA.

There are animals which are intermediate between invertebrates and vertebrates and are called protochordates.

PROTOCHORDATES

Phylum: Hemichordata

phylum: VERTEBRATA, under this phylum there are six classes

class: Pisces

class: Amphibians

class: Reptilia

class: Aves

class: Mammalia

All the above are mojor phylums, along with these phylums, there are many minor phylums.
