The phylum Porifera is the same thing as sponges. Sponges have no symmetry, which is different from all other animals. They reproduce asexually, and only have a couple of types of tissues, which they use to capture and digest nutrients in the water.
The animals belonging to porifera are just combination of cells with loose organization. They do not have well defined mechanism to transport material inside. They use diffusion for this purpose. There are very less no. of tissues.
