yes, that's what the name means. Non-vertebrates do not have a backbone
Biology major: The answer above is incorrect, Hagfish (Myxinoidea) are classified as vertebrates (controversial) because they are grouped with other agnathans, but do not possess vertebrae.

Are sharks vertebrates or invertebrate?
Vertebrate, but its bones aren't bones they are cartilage. Bones are hard that form the skeletal structure of the body; Cartilages on the other hand, are not as hard and rigid as bones, and most commonly found on fishes, hence, the shark.They are a Vertebrate which means they have a spine.Sharks have a skeleton and that skeleton includes a spine, so they are classed as vertebrates. It's just that the skeleton is made of cartilage rather than bones.Sharks are VERTEBRATES. They do have a backbone and are fish.Sharks belong to the phylum Chordata, and subphylum Vertebrata, and are true vertebrates. Their skeleton is made of cartilage, not bone, but they have a vertebral column. Although the vertebral column is made of cartilage, it is strengthened by tesserae (crystal blocks of calcium salts) which gives it a similar toughness to the bone found in other vertebrates. Tesserae is also found strengthening the sharks jaw and gill arches.it is a vertebrate because it has a backbonesVertebrate- they have a backbone.
