No Ants do not have a back bone.

In fact no insect has any bones at all, the body is supported by an exo-skeleton. A hard outer shell with the organs all inside without any bones.

they have got a backbone.

I don't think they do. What ants and most insects have is an exo- skeleton, a skeleton on the outside-unlike us who have our skeletons on the inside. This means when an ant grows it sheds its shell and grows another one. Our bones grow with us.

In fact ants have in contrast to humans and other vertebrates neither an internal skeleton nor a vertebral column, rather than that ants have an exoskeleton which is an external covering around ants' bodies providing the needed protection and points to which muscles are attached. Dr:Ahmed

No, as an insect, ants are invertebrates, and thus do not have a backbone. They are instead supported by an exoskeleton.

No, an ant has an exoskeleton, or a skeleton that surrounds the body instead of being inside like we have.

It then proceeds to stick its sticky tongue as far as it can into the nests, getting as many ants as it can each time.
