Yes, they just digest it like anyone would.
they suck in water and plankton which dont need to be diested
Intracellularly. >.<
Intracellularly. -_-
they digest it in a one-way gut.
sponges feed through their pores or holes, their pores create a current pulling food into the central cavity of the sponge. the food sticks to the collar cells that lines the central cavity, there the amoebocytes pick up the food and digest it, carrying the nutrients to the other cells.summary:porescollar cellsamoebocytesother cells.
Sponges don't actually have distinct resipratory, circulation, digestive or excretory systems. To feed, they filter out food particles from the water which flows through them. The particles go into the Osteia (pores) and are internally digested by Pinacocytes or Archaeocyte which partially push themselves through the wall of the Osteia. However, bacteria-sized particles - which constitute around 85% of the sponges diet - which are too small to be consumbed by the Pinacocytes or Archaeocyte pass through the Osteia and are caught by the Choanocytes. The Archaeocytes then transport the food in vesicles away from the cells which directly digest food to those which do not.
The Amoebocytes in sponges travel freely in the Mesenchyme. They digest food that the sponge has extracted from the water and transport the digested food to the parts of the sponge that need it.

Sponges process their food by fillter feed and fillter fecies...
Sponges filter their food when water flows by.
They filter feed. This means that water flows through the pores in their bodies and special cells with hairs strain the water and keep tiny food particles for the sponge to digest.
Porifera are sponges, and many animals eat sponges, including nudibranchs and some specialized fish.
Yes they do digest food.
Yes, they can digest food.
Sponges get food from the water around them.
