amniota
Amniota is a clade, or a group of organisms, that includes all living reptiles, birds, and mammals along with their extinct ancient relatives. These organisms are distinguished by having an embryo developing within a set of protective membranes - the amnion, chorion, and allantois - collectively known as amniotic sac. This setup allows amniotes to lay their eggs on land or retain them within mother's body, making them less dependent on water for reproduction compared to other vertebrates.
Webster Dictionary
Amniota
that group of vertebrates which develops in its embryonic life the envelope called the amnion. It comprises the reptiles, the birds, and the mammals
Etymology: [NL. See Amnion.]
