The 2 main groups animals are classified by are vertebrate (has a backbone/spine)

and Invertebrate ( without a backbone/spine). Then animals are broken up into other groups such as Reptiles, Birds, Mammals, Insects, Arachnids, Fish, Amphibians, and many more.

Animals are classified so that we can identify them. Scientists and Paleontologists can often tell which group an animal is in depending on their bones.In fact, even us humans are classified by groups!

We are obviously vertebrate because we have a backbone/spine. Humans are also mammals because of the different qualities we have.

What all animals must have to be classified as an animal?

This is because of classification. It's the way scientists identify living things, and the term "animal" is one of the broader terms. So it all narrows down from "Plant" and "Animal", into different groups like warm/cold-blooded, etc.
