They are different because they have one. The most important evolutionary advantages of this are :-
The notochord is now inside the backbone - the spinal cord. The notochord gave greater functionality to the nervous system, but it was very vulnerable to trauma whether accidentally or in combat. Inside the backbone it is well protected.
The spine gives great flexibility to the organism; physical flexibility of course, but also making the evolution of complex shapes easier.

What kind of animals dont have backbones?
Animals that do not have backbones are called invertebrates. Some examples of invertebrates include arthropods (such as spiders, crabs, insects, etc), worms, jellyfish, molluscs (such as snails and octopi), sponges, and more. Interesting to note is that there are far more insects than there are animals with backbones, whether you count by number of species, amount of biomass, or number of individuals.The invertebrates do not have backbones. They are mainly primitive animals. They usually have a less complex body design than those animals which have backbones.

Which animals with backbone?
Vertabrates. The ones with vertabra and sharp teeth are called... dangerous. If I understand correctly, then the answer is this. Animals that have vertebrae are those that have a spine that helps support them, twist/bend/etc their bodies around in many different ways, allows the brain to send signals to different parts of their bodies, etc. Something like that. Animals like mammals, reptiles, birds, dinosaurs, etc.
Different trophic levels?
There are four trophic levels. They are plants, which produce food, herbivores, which are the animals that eat the plants, primary consumers, which eat the herbivores, and secondary consumers, which are those animals that eat primary consumers.
Do animals with a backbone out number animals without a backbone?
No, there are many more animals without backbones than there are those that have backbones.
Observe in your school garden or around your home 10 different animals without backbones and 5 with backbones?
There are many different animals in the garden around people's homes. Some of these animals do not have backbones. Those animals might include worms, ladybugs, crickets, beetles, and flies. Some of the animals do have backbones. Those animals include cats, frogs, dogs, raccoon, and skunks.
