Are myriapoda vertebrates

No, myriapoda are not vertebrates. They are a subphylum of arthropods that includes creatures such as millipedes and centipedes, characterized by their elongated bodies and numerous legs. Vertebrates, on the other hand, belong to the subphylum Vertebrata, which includes animals with a backbone, such as mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish. Thus, myriapods and vertebrates are fundamentally different groups within the animal kingdom.
