That's what the sponge is for. It is there to soak up water, and not to release it. Sponges are super absorbent, so that's why it holds a lot of water, or any liquid.
Hope this helps!:)
When a sponge is submerged in water, the water enters the sponge through the tiny holes in the sponge. The sponge fills up with water, as a balloon fills with air, only not as visibly. When you squeeze the sponge, the water exits that sponge through the tiny holes...exactly the opposite of how it entered! Tada! :)
a sponge holds water because of its holes
A sponge is something that has allot of holes, but can still hold/soak up water.
The part of the sponge the water flows in is the hole.
The size of a sponge does affect the amount of water absorbed. The bigger the sponge the more water absorbed.
A sponge
He has gone out of the water before and been fine.
A sponge takes in water through its pores and in more advanced forms, with canals that move the water to all throughout the sponge. Then the oxygen from the water is used.
Sponges transform by sucking in water, like if you put a sponge in a bowl full of water, some of the water will get sucked in the sponge and the sponge will transform. When you take the sponge out of the bowl and wait for a cople of seconds, all the water that was sucked in, will come out and the sponge will be back the way it was before you put it in the bowl.
the sponge can hold up to about 40 percent of the water from the bowl.
