Why are mammals considered to be amniotes even though most mammals do not produce an amniotic egg?

Mammals are considered amniotes because they share a common ancestor with reptiles and birds, which do produce amniotic eggs. While most mammals do not lay eggs, they still develop within an amniotic sac in the uterus. The presence of extraembryonic membranes, such as the amnion, allantois, and chorion, during embryonic development in mammals is a key characteristic that aligns them with other amniotes.

Are lungfish amnions?

Lungfish are not amniotes; they belong to a group called dipnoi, which are a type of fish. Amniotes are vertebrates that possess an amniotic egg, a characteristic that includes reptiles, birds, and mammals. Lungfish have adaptations for breathing air and can survive in low-oxygen environments, but they do not have the amniotic structure associated with amniotes. Therefore, while lungfish are an interesting evolutionary link, they do not fit the classification of amniotes.
