Spongesareanimalsof thephylumPorifera.They are multicellular organisms which have bodies full of pores and channels allowing water to circulate through them, consisting of jelly-likemesohylsandwiched between two thin layers ofcells. Sponges have unspecialized cells that can transform into other types and which often migrate between the main cell layers and the mesohyl in the process. Sponges do not havenervous,digestiveorcirculatory systems. Instead, most rely on maintaining a constant water flow through their bodies to obtain food, oxygen and remove wastes.
