Summary Introduction
To describe:
The characteristics of the marine animal for determining the phylum to which the creature should be assigned.
Introduction:
Animals are majorly divided into the two groups, namely aquatic animals and terrestrial animals. The aquatic animals and terrestrial animals show some similarities, and they also show some dissimilarities because of their habitat. Hence, the animals are classified and their phylum is determined by analyzing the distinct features of the animals.
