Ostia are incurrent pores, found on organisms in the Phylum Porifera (aka sponges). Basically; they are body openings on sponges.
The surface of the orange puffball sponge is covered with small pores that filter small particles of food from the water that passes through them. Each sponge has flagella that help move the water through the sponge.
sponges obtain energy by obsorbing food through their pores.

Do bubbles escape when you squeeze a sponge under water air
Species in the phylum Poriferaie.SPONGES!!
A sponge is in the phylum Porifera. The phylum's name hints to this:Pori-spores and Fera- to bear... So totally it is something that bears pores - which is an important characteristic of sponges.
The phylum Porifera, commonly known as sponges, has pores in their bodies called ostia. These pores allow water to flow through the sponge, helping with filter feeding and gas exchange.

Sponges have pores and are filter feeders
They "eat" plankton that pass through the pores in the sponge. They sift the plankton and absorb it.
Pores
The body of a sponge is covered in tiny openings called pores. These pores allow water to flow in and out of the sponge, which helps the sponge filter out food particles and oxygen from the surrounding water.
The scientific name, for the Sponge phylum is Porifera.Related Information:The animal nature of sponges was determined by Ellis (1765) the term, Porifera, was coined by Robert Grant (1857). These life forms are characterized by a body surface composed of numerous, minute dermal pores, the ostia. The name, Porifera (Latin porus = pore; ferre = bearer) , refers to this characteristic.
No, it has pores which allow the sponge to filter feed.
