What is the name of the structure that allows us to classify chordates?

The structure that allows us to classify chordates is called the notochord. This flexible, rod-like structure is present at some stage of development in all chordates, providing support and a framework for the body. In most vertebrates, the notochord is replaced by the vertebral column (spine) during development. Other key features for classifying chordates include a dorsal nerve cord, pharyngeal slits, and a post-anal tail.
