The reason why some animals do and some don't is because of necessity. On land most animals have either an internal skeleton (with a backbone) or an external skeleton (beetles with shells). Underwater, however, animals like jellyfish and octopi have no need for backbones, because there is less of a pull from gravity. They have no real need for a backbone, so they don't grow one.
