Scientists classified the dodo into the phylum Chordata because it possesses certain characteristics unique to chordates, such as a notochord, dorsal nerve cord, pharyngeal slits, and post-anal tail during some stage of its development. These features are key criteria used to determine an organism's placement within the Chordata phylum.
