The Chordata is the animal phylum with which everyone is most familiar, because it includes humans and other vertebrates. Not all chordates are vertebrates, however. All chordates have pharyngeal slits, a dorsal nerve cord, a notochord, and a post-anal tail, even if these are only found in the embryonic form of the animal.

Phylum Chordata includes fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals.

With some exceptions the chordates are animals with bilaterally symmetric bodies, longitudinally differentiated into head, trunk and tail.

All animals which have a spine, or backbone, are classified in the phylum Chordata. There are three subphylums in Chordata: the first two are invertebrates - Urochordata (tunicates e.g. marine filter feeders such as sea squirts), Cephalachordata (lancelets e.g. sessile burrowing marine animals), while the third is Vertebrata (vertebrates - all mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians).

You have the question backwards. Chordates have noto-cords, a hollow tube down the dorsal surface starting from the anterior end.

A Chordate is a living being that has a spinal cord. A few examples of this would be a dog, cat, fish, and ferret.
