6 majors groups
Mollusca - snails, slugs, squids and octopuses (internal or external shell)

Annelida - segmented worms (repeated body segments)
(a NELL i dah)
Arthropoda - insects, shrimps, lobsters and crabs

Segmented worms,
Flatworms, Roundworms
Cnidarians
Mollusks
Sponges
Echinoderms
Arthropods*
*There are four sub-groups of Arthropods: Insects, Arachnids, Crustaceans, and Centipedes & Millipedes
Actually there are a couple more as far as my research goes.
1). Annelida: segmented worms (earthworms, leeches, etc.)
2).Arthropoda: crustaceans, insects, and and arachnids(Spiders)
3). Cnidaria: jellyfish, sea anemone, and corals
4). Echinodermata: starfish/sea stars, sea cucumbers, and sea urchins
5). Mollusca:snails, bivalves, and squid
6). Nematoda: round worms
7). Platyheminthes: flat worms
8). Porifera: sea sponges/freshwater sponges
Hope this helped!! :)
There's more than five I think. I saw this on Yahoo! Answers. I .
Annelida - segmented worms (earthworms, leeches, polychaetes)
Arthropoda - insects, arachnids, crustaceans
Cnidaria - jellyfishes, corals, sea anemones, hydras
Echinodermata - sea stars, sea urchins, sea cucumbers
Mollusca - squid, snails, bivalves
Nematoda - round worms
Nematomorpha - horsehair worms or gordian worms
Platyhelminthes - flat worms
Porifera - sponges
An invertebrate is an animal without a vertebral column or an internal bony skeleton. The group includes 98 per cent of all animal species. Some examples are:
* All insects, * All arachnids (spiders), * All crustaceans (crabs, shrimps, lobsters) * All annelids (worms and leeches) * All molluscs (shellfish) * All echinoderms (starfish)
