Answer
Protochordata is one of the groups of phylum chordata. Protochordata constitutes the marine, small, primitive, or lower chordates. The members of protochordates lack a head, skull or cranium, vertebral column and brain. About 2000 species are found in this group. This is further divided into three subphylum: Hemichordata (e.g. Balanoglossus ), Urochordata (e.g. Herdmania) and Cephalochordata (e.g. Branchiostoma) based on the position of notochord.
