It is an invertebrate; it has no internal skeleton such as we have. The prawn's shell is an exoskeleton - effectively a skeleton on the outside of its body.

Prawns are edible, shrimp-like crustaceans, belonging to the sub-order Dendrobranchiata.They are distinguished from the superficially similar shrimp by the gill structure which is branching in prawns (hence the name, dendro="tree"; branchia="gill"), but is lamellar in shrimp.
The sister taxon to Dendrobranchiata is Pleocyemata, which contains all the true shrimp, crabs, lobsters, etc.
In the United States, according to the 1911 Encyclopedia, the word "prawn" usually indicates a freshwater shrimp or prawn. In Middle English, the word "prawn" is recorded as prayne or prane; no cognate form can be found in any other language. It has often been connected to the Latin perna, a ham-shaped shellfish, but this is due to an old scholarly error that connected perna and parnocchie with prawne-fishes or shrimps. In fact, the Old Italian perna and pernocchia meant a shellfish that yielded nacre, or mother-of-pearl.

The prawn blood cell is divided into three types, do not have the particle cells (Agranular cell ) , the granule cells (Small granular cell ) , the big particle cells (Large granular cell ) .

Why can't you find a shrimp's spinal column?

I can see you're going to pass bio with flying colours.

Its a crustacean. An arthropod. Invertebrate is an informal term used to describe any creature without a backbone. Its only useful until you realise oaktrees and bacteria are invertebrates.
