A cellulose sponge is made of, well, cellulose. Cellulose is the main component of plant cell walls, so many plant derived products are cellulose based. Wood is about 50% cellulose, paper and cardboard are almost entirely cellulose, and most plant fibers are mostly cellulose- cotton is about 90% cellulose. the wikipedia article is decent: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellulose
Iodine can react with cellulose through a process called iodination. When cellulose is treated with iodine, the iodine molecules can attach to the hydroxyl groups on the cellulose chains. This reaction can be used in chemistry to modify cellulose and produce different types of cellulose derivatives.
