We just studied this a few months back, and I believe that the function of a sponges pores is to take in water and filter it for food. When they reproduce I believe it also releases the sperm or egg out of there and another sponge can catch it and have babies. Again, the function of sponges pores is to take all the bacteria and inpurities of the water and that is how it gets it's food.
