Sponges are invertebrates
Its an invertabrate
if they have no spine theirinvertebrate. But idk if they have spine, id thinkso
Sponge
It means aquatic animal. These are animals, either vertebrate or invertebrate, which live in water for most or all of its life. It may breathe air or extract its oxygen from that dissolved in water through specialised organs called gills, or directly through its skin. Natural environments and the animals that live in them can be categorized as aquatic (water) or terrestrial (land). Animals that move readily from water to land and vice versa are often referred to as amphibious.

choanocytes are resonsible for current flow and trapping food particles in sponges source: my invertebrate zoology textbook :)
Salamander is a common name of approximately 500 species of amphibians. Uniquely among vertebrates, they are capable of regenerating lost limbs, as well as other body parts. Some salamander species are fully aquatic throughout life, some take to the water intermittently, and some are entirely terrestrial as adults.
Fish or if you are talking about dolphins and whales then mammals as well but mostly fish
When a sponge is submerged in water, the water enters the sponge through the tiny holes in the sponge. The sponge fills up with water, as a balloon fills with air, only not as visibly. When you squeeze the sponge, the water exits that sponge through the tiny holes...exactly the opposite of how it entered! Tada! :)
No. Despite its looks, sponge is an animal which filter feeds, which makes it a heterotroph.In early stages of its life, it is actually motile and moves around until it finds a suitable space to grow and become a sponge. Once it grows, it can bring in water and get the nutrients present in the water through diffusion.
a sponge holds water because of its holes
A sponge is something that has allot of holes, but can still hold/soak up water.
