The term "invertebrate" means without vertebra. Vertebrae are any of the bones or segments that make up the spinal column (Dictionary.com). Therefore, any animal without vertebra (i.e. spine-type structure) are called invertebrates.

Humans are vertebrates, as we have a spinal column.

Ants are invertebrates, as they have no definite spinal structure (they have a segmented exoskeleton)
Basically it's an animal without a backbone, but i think it's safe to say that invertebrate animals have no bones.. a good example of one is the octopus, or squid.
