How is the support in the body of a sponge different from the support in the body of an insect?

The support in the body of a sponge comes from a flexible, fibrous structure made up of a network of collagen and spicules, which provide a soft, porous framework. In contrast, insects have an exoskeleton made of chitin, a rigid and protective outer layer that provides structural support and protection against environmental factors. While sponges are soft-bodied and rely on their water-filled cavities for shape, insects possess a hard, external support system that facilitates movement and offers defense.
