Sponges transform by sucking in water, like if you put a sponge in a bowl full of water, some of the water will get sucked in the sponge and the sponge will transform. When you take the sponge out of the bowl and wait for a cople of seconds, all the water that was sucked in, will come out and the sponge will be back the way it was before you put it in the bowl.

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.
The dead sponges (and the synthetic sponges) we use for cleaning are insulators. Live sponges are conductors because their tissues are saturated with salt water. It is possible to produce many metals in "sponge" form, as these "sponges" are metallic they are conductors. Gold for example is produced in "sponge" form when extracted with Mercury and the mercury is roasted out. This "gold sponge" is then melted and poured in molds to make bulion.
The plural of sponge is sponges.
Sponges get oxygen by taking water through it's pores. The water moves over cells inside the sponge and oxygen in the water moves into the sponge's cells.
