    1. (i) Distinguishing features: A pigeon possesses feathers, wings, a beak and an internal bony backbone, whereas an earthworm exhibits a soft, cylindrical, segmented body lacking limbs, skeleton and eyes. (ii) Group placement: The internal vertebral column and aerial adaptations place the pigeon into Chordata (Aves), while the metameric segmentation, lack of backbone and hydrostatic support classify the earthworm into Invertebrata (Annelida).
