Though, like plants, they do not possess chlorophyll or a cell wall. Therefore, members of the animal kingdom indicate a heterotrophic mode of nutrition. Kingdom Animalia is further classified into ten different subphyla based on their body designs or differentiations.

The different phyla of the Kingdom Animalia are as follows:

  1. Porifera
  2. Coelenterata (Cnidaria)
  3. Platyhelminthes

  5. Annelida
  6. Arthropoda
