How do sea sponges produce?
Sponges may reproduce sexually and asexually. Most sponges are hermaphrodites, both male and female. In sexual reproduction, the male sponge releases sperm into the water, which travels in the current and then enters a female sponge. After fertilization in the sponge, a larva is released into the water. It floats around for a few days and then sticks to a solid surface to begin its growth into an adult sponge. Sponges are also able to reproduce asexually through budding. A small piece of sponge breaks off and grows into another sponge with DNA identical to the parent sponge.

Why porifera are considered as animal inspite of that they are non-motile?
Most of the porifera (sponges) have a larval form that IS motile. They can reproduce asexually, a piece of sponge can grow into a whole new sponge. But they also reproduce sexually which produces a larva and not a spore or 'seed' that grows into a new sponge. The porifera can not produce their own food as plants do. They 'prey' on miniscule plants and animals which they filter from the water passing thru their PORES. Therefore they are animals and not plants.
