tunicata
Tunicata, also known as urochordata or sea squirts, is a subphylum of invertebrate animals within the phylum Chordata. They are marine animals characterized by a tough, usually cellulose-containing, outer "tunic" layer. The adult forms are usually sessile (non-moving), while the larval stage resembles a tadpole, complete with a dorsal nerve cord, pharyngeal slits, tail and a notochord, which are typical features of chordates. Their diet typically consists of plankton and other organic matter.
Webster Dictionary
Tunicata
a grand division of the animal kingdom, intermediate, in some respects, between the invertebrates and vertebrates, and by some writers united with the latter. They were formerly classed with acephalous mollusks. The body is usually covered with a firm external tunic, consisting in part of cellulose, and having two openings, one for the entrance and one for the exit of water. The pharynx is usually dilated in the form of a sac, pierced by several series of ciliated slits, and serves as a gill
