Sponges are sessile organisms during their adulthood, meaning they do not move. To feed, sponges have adapted a process known as "filter-feeding." Basically, small particles of food passing by in the water are taken in by the sponge and digested directly in the sponge's cell layers. The larvae also feed this way, although they are not sessile and are free swimming.
