What evolutionary innovation is associated with the simplest animals the sponges?

multicellularity
------------------------------------------------
Sponges are simple aggregations of single cells which come
together for mutual benefit. If you liquidise a sponge, the cells
it is made form will come together again to reform the sponge. Thus
sponges (or something like them) were probably the first step in
the evolution of multi-cellular organisms.
