A spongocoel is the cavity inside a sponge, such as Grantia, that is lined with flagellated cells and stores the food (tiny particles and bacteria) the sponge receives from filter-feeding. Inside the spongocoel, food particles are trapped on a layer of mucilaginous material and transported into the sponge's cells for digestion.
