An amniote is a type of vertebrate animal that has an amniotic egg, which is characterized by having several membranes (including the amnion) that protect and nourish the developing embryo. This adaptation allows these animals to lay eggs on land or retain the fertilized egg within the mother, rather than needing to lay eggs in water. Amniotes include three major groups: reptiles, birds, and mammals. This evolutionary development is significant because it allowed for greater independence from aquatic environments and facilitated the colonization of terrestrial habitats.
