No they are vertebrates because they have a spine.

Their spines are attached to the insides of their shells, making it physically impossible for them to leave their shells.
No tortoises are vertebrates
No it is not.

The term 'invertebrate' litterally means 'without bones. Tortoises have an internal skeleton like we do.

Nope. Turtles got spines.

The inner layer of bone is fused with the usual bony structures associated with all vertebrates, the

vertebral column and ribs. The vertebrae are particularly interesting for the modifications that have occurred. The vertebrae of the neck and tail are small, allowing for a high degree of flexibility, while the vertebrae of the central portion of the vertebral column are enormously elongated and inflexible, fused with the bony layer of the shell, acting as a support for the carapace.

Their spines are attached to the insides of their shells. Which is why it is physically impossible for turtles to leave their shells.
