Coelacanths are classified as fish due to several key characteristics, including their possession of a backbone (vertebral column), gills for breathing underwater, and fins for locomotion. They also have a streamlined body shape and scales covering their skin, typical features of bony fish. Additionally, coelacanths exhibit traits like a swim bladder for buoyancy and a unique lineage that links them to early vertebrate evolution, reinforcing their classification within the fish category.
