Chordata and higher invertebrates have some things in common, they both belong to different phylum categories in the animal kingdom; Here are some of the things they have in common:


1. Body symmetry: The bodies of both chordates and higher invertebrates have obvious symmetry, usually showing mirror symmetry on the left and right sides.


2. Internal digestion: Both animals have digestive organs inside the body, which can digest food into nutrients and absorb them into the body to provide life activities.


3. Nervous system: Both chordates and higher invertebrates have nervous systems that can sense and respond to the external environment and control the movement and functions of various parts of the body.


4. Reproductive methods: Both animals can reproduce through sexual reproduction, and gametes (sperm and eggs) are produced during the reproduction process.


5. Cell structure: Cells of chordates and higher invertebrates have basic structures such as nucleus, plasma membrane, and mitochondria.


In short, although there are great differences in morphological structure and life habits between chordates and higher invertebrates, they also have many things in common. These commonalities reflect some basic characteristics and laws of life in the process of evolution.
