Phylum Porifera:
These are the sponges you find in the ocean.
They are unique in that they are exclusively marine, they do not have any organs, they are immobile, they have regenerative powers, and as their name suggests, they have pores through which water passes for filter-feeding.
Phylum Cnidaria:
These are the jellyfish.
They are unique in their polymorphism- they are either the mobile medusa (the ones you see floating in the sea) or immobile polyp (these are the corals you find in coral reefs).
They are also unique in their cnidocytes- cells responsible for defense and offense (the jellyfish sting).
Phylum Arthropoda:
These are all the insects, crustaceans, millipedes and Spiders.
They are unique in having an exoskeleton which in most species is moulted. and in their metameric segmentation- their organs are repeated in every segment of the abdomen.
Phylum Chordata:
This phylum includes us mammals along with reptiles, birds, fish and amphibians.
As the name suggests, they are unique in having a notochord, and a post-anal tail.
Phyla is plural for Phylum. It is used in animal taxonomy and is the category between kingdom and class. Animals in the same phylum have the same degree of developmental similarity. There is a total of 36 animal phyla that all animals fall under and the largest phylum is Arthropoda.
There are five main phyla in the animal kingdom: Porifera (sponges), Cnidaria (jellyfish, corals), Platyhelminthes (flatworms), Annelida (segmented worms), and Arthropoda (insects, spiders).
In terms of taxonomy, there is just one animal kingdom. There are various phyla within the kingdom.
Phylum is a division within the animal kingdom and is just above class. it is a way of identifying a species within a group or order Kingdom: Phylum: Class: Order: Family: Genus: Species:
Do you mean, 'How many phyla are there on Earth?' There are more than 20 phyla of bacteria, over 30 phyla of animals and 12 phyla of plants. Fungi and protists, who knows.....? Add up all these phyla, and you can see there is quite a lot.
There are more than two phyla in the animal kingdom... There are many phyla in the animal kingdom. There are a few phyla of worms and other invertebrates and then you have the vertebrate ohyla. Unless that's what your asking? Did you want the invertebrate and vertebrate in general phyla? That's the only set of 2 things I can think of.

The kingdom of organisms that exhibit characteristics from various phyla is the kingdom Animalia. Animals encompass a wide range of phyla with diverse characteristics, such as chordates, arthropods, and mollusks, among others. This diversity is a key feature of the animal kingdom.

There are currently around 35 recognized phyla in the animal kingdom, but the exact number may vary depending on different classifications and new discoveries.
Phylum
Centipedes are what makes up the largest of all animal phyla and includes invertebrates with jointed legs and separated body parts.
They're not, really. The animal kingdom is divided into multiple phyla, such as arthropods, molluscs and roundworms. Vertebrates are only one of these phyla. They're classified according to their traits and evolutionary history, and grouped according to their relation to one another.
Most animal phyla occur in marine environments, particularly in the oceans. This is because the marine environment offers a wide range of habitats that can support diverse forms of life and provide opportunities for evolutionary divergence.
