The Phylum Chordata includes the well-known vertebrates (fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals). The vertebrates and hagfishes together comprise the taxon Craniata. The remaining chordates are the tunicates (Urochordata), lancelets (Cephalochordata), and, possibly, some odd extinct groups.

The main taxa within Phylum Chordata include: ... Another theory suggests that vertebrates may have come from a larval form similar to tunicate larvae that were capable of reproduction in the larval stage, that is, they are sexually mature prior to metamorphosis, which is referred to as paedogenesis (paedo = child — same...

Tunicates are usually hermafroditic, but methods of reproduction are varied (some asexual through budding others sexual). The group name refers to the self-secreted tunic, or sacklike covering, over the body. Three classes are recognized, the best known being the sea squirts or ascidians (Ascidiacea).
