Sponges are filter feeders, which mens that they pimp water through their bodies and absorb the plankton that gets sucked in. Therefore, most sponges prey on plankton. However, there are a few types of carnivorous sponges that actively hunt and capture small curstaceans.

How is a hydra more efficient at obtaining food than a sponge?

A hydra is more efficient at obtaining food than a sponge due to its active predatory behavior and specialized structures. Hydras possess tentacles equipped with stinging cells that allow them to capture and immobilize prey, while sponges rely on passive filter feeding, drawing water through their porous bodies to extract nutrients. This active feeding strategy enables hydras to target and consume a wider variety of prey, enhancing their overall nutrient intake compared to the more limited and less efficient sponge feeding mechanism.


Why porifera are considered as animal inspite of that they are non-motile?

Most of the porifera (sponges) have a larval form that IS motile. They can reproduce asexually, a piece of sponge can grow into a whole new sponge. But they also reproduce sexually which produces a larva and not a spore or 'seed' that grows into a new sponge. The porifera can not produce their own food as plants do. They 'prey' on miniscule plants and animals which they filter from the water passing thru their PORES. Therefore they are animals and not plants.
