Which phyla developed an external shell to protect its internal organs?

Molluscaanswer 2 Well, we do not know that the Molluscal developed the shell to protect its internal organs, we only know that by developing an external shell, that did protect its internal organs.But the shell gave it more than that. The animal now had a frame onto which it could anchor its organs, and thus use superior locomotion or feeding. And in our human case, a skeleton that enables and protects all sorts of things.The shell was not an essential for protection; for ordinary garden snails, and squids and octopuses [[one puss, 2 puses in English] have all let their shell degenerate to a minor internal feature.
