The pores in a sponge are used to filter the water, and while doing that they collect food to eat
Pore cell
A sponge contains a lot of pore space that are filled with air or water at any given time. Squeezing a sponge temporarily collapses these pore spaces and forces the air or water out.
ostium
An apopyle is a pore through which water passes out of a radial canal or flagellated chamber of a sponge.
Small pores of sponges are called ostia through which water enters while a large pore through which water exits is called osculum .
The large pore through which filtered water exits the body of a sponge is called the osculum. Sponges filter water through their bodies to extract food particles, and the osculum serves as the exit point for the water after it has passed through the sponge's porous structure.
porifera translates to "pore bearer" it describes the anatomy because sponges are porous
Neither, sponges have their own phylum separate from both of those, called Porifera ('pore carriers').
No. Sea sponges belong to phylum Porifera ("pore-bearing"), whereas arthropods with their joint appendages, exoskeletons and segmented bodies, belong to a totally different phylum, Athropoda.
I have a pore on my face.
The body of a sponge helps regulate the flow of water by efficiently channeling it through its pores, allowing for filtration and nutrient intake. At the same time, the sponge controls which materials pass through its pores by utilizing specialized cells to selectively take in beneficial substances while filtering out unwanted particles.
