Explanation

Fish, most invertebrates, and amphibians are classified as ectotherms, meaning their body temperature depends on the external environment rather than internal heat production. Endotherms (warm-blooded animals) regulate their body temperature internally, while heterotherms have variable temperature regulation, and homeotherms maintain a constant body temperature.
