chordates
Sea squirts are more scientifically known as tunicates. The larval form of most tunicates is free-swimming and resembles a tadpole.
Tunicates and lancelets are common to humans in that all of them are chordates. That is they share certain charcteristics at some point in their lives. Four traits that they all share are notochord, hollow dorsal nerve chord, post anal tail, and pharyngeal gill slits. Some of these characteristics disappear during development, others are retained.

True
Tunicates are part of the phylum Chordata, and there are as many of 2,150 species of them. Sea stars, flatworms, and snails are some of the predators of tunicates.
Non-vertebrate chordates are those animals that have a notochord but no true backbone. There are two groups known as the tunicates and lancelets. Tunicates include sea squirts and salps. Lancelets are a group of burrowing filter feeders that live on the ocean floor.

chordates
No. They are both chordates, which means during embryonic development they have a notochord, the same as vertebrates. This does not persist in tunicates, but it does in lancelets (adults still have a notochord). Neither tunicates or lancelets have a backbone.
The scientific name for tunicates is Phylum Chordata, Subphylum Tunicata.
Tunicates and lancelets are invertebrates, while the other chordates are vertebrates.During their embryonic stage they have a flexible cord that supports their bodies which disappears in the adult stage. Some of these develop bones surrounding the cord in the adult stage rather than have it disappear.

Because they have no back bone
Tunicates are invertebrates.
