The only phylum with Notochord is "Chordata"

Notochord is a rod-like structure, and it can be seen in human babies, but when they grow, it grows into back-bone. Notochord still found in Urochordata and Cephalochordata, but in higher vertebrates like humans, you'll find "Back bone" instead of a notochord.

Hope this helps!
