Sponges belong to a group of animals that scientists classify as Po-lifer and are among the simplest of animals, lacking tissue and organs. They filter water through the various chambers within it, absorbing nutrients
Early scientists classified sponges as plants because of their stationary nature and lack of obvious sensory organs. It was not until the 18th century that sponges were recognized as animals due to their ability to move, feed, and reproduce like other animals.
Scientists classify sponges as simple animals because they are multicellular organisms that lack tissues and organs found in more complex animals. Sponges also feed by filtering particles from water, which is a characteristic of animals rather than plants.
