No, kitchen sponges nowadays are usually made from cellulose or synthetic plastics. Real marine sponges were used by early Europeans to also clean, but it was stopped due to overfishing that almost brought the sponges to extinction.
There are four classes of sponges classified so far. The classification is based on the difference in basic cell structure and type. They are,Calcarea - has single nuclues and single external membrane.Glass Sponges - has multinucleated cell.Demosponges - same as calcerea but their spicules are made of silica whereas for Calcarea it is made of calcite.Homoscleromorpha - same as Demosponges except for the different body structure it has. It is the most recently classified class.
