What does hydra feed on?

Since Hydra is part of the group of cnidarians, it is a bit more complicated than a sponge. The way that hydra digest their food is through extracellular digestion. This means that hydra actually have a special gut cavity that traps and digests food instead of having a bunch of cells do it, like a sponge. This gut cavity only has one opening and during digestion, enzymes from the cell wall are released to aid in breaking down the food. Once digested, the food is engulfed by cells from the wall into tiny particles through a process called Phagocytosis.
