Some advice. You really need to check your information before posting here. We have only identified 13 phyla that were present during the Cambrian, and four of then were also present in the Vendian, before the Cambrian started.
It is possible that a few other phyla were present during the Vendian or Cambrian, it is just that we do not have any fossil record of them -- think small and squishy marine invertebrates that don't fossilize well.
It is worth pointing out that all land plant phyla started after the Cambrian. Not a lot of ID sites wittering on about the "Cambrian Explosion" tell you about that. Yet another reason to check your sources carefully.
