== == Yes, an oyster is a mollusk, a grouping with many various characteristics. Squid, clams, scallops, and starfish, etc. are also mollusks. They fit into the definition of invertebrates because they do not have a spine or backbone.

Additional interesting fact about oysters:

The oyster is usually ambisexual. It begins life as a male, then becomes a female, then changes back to being a male, then back to being female. It may go back and forth many times.
