hope i helped!!(:
within the canals of the sponge :D
In a sponge under water.
flagella
Collar cells are found in sponges. Their function is to beat the flagella back and forth in order to make water go through the sponge. Apart from the sponge picking food particles from the water, the collar cells also do the same.
They use flagella to move
They improve both respiratory and digestive functions for the sponge, pulling in oxygen and nutrients and allowing a rapid expulsion of carbon dioxide and other waste products.
Choanocyte (collar cells) are any of the flagellated cells located in the body cavity of a sponge. They surround the base of the flagellum. The function of these cells is to maintain the flow of water through the body of the sponge.

why are collar cells important in classifying sponges as animals
They improve both respiratory and digestive functions for the sponge, pulling in oxygen and nutrients and allowing a rapid expulsion of carbon dioxide and other waste products.
The flagella are located on the collar cells inside the sponge. When the sponge takes in water, the flagella reach out and grab the food that is found inside the water.
