Is sponge a fungi?
Because we wanted to call them sponges. Sponges belong to the animal kingdom since they are heterotrophic. Fungi derive food from breaking doown orgainc material in soil. Sponges feed on existing material. This is the difference.
Why would it not be a good idea to cut sponges up if you wanted to get rid of them?
It depends on the kind of sponge, because sponges, the real animal not the synthetic product, are asexual reproducers, and can grow from the tiniest cell of a sponge. It's okay to cut up a synthetic sponge though.
What are the primary characteristics of animals that are not exhibited in sponges?
Sponges do have some differentiated cells that have different functions but they don't have true tissues like all other animals and plants do. Even though they're included in the Animal kingdom they also symmetry, which most other animals have.

Why are sponges considered to be primitive animals?
Sponges were first though to be plants because, at first glance, they appear to be so. They are immobile, have no appendages to speak of, and lack a nervous and circulatory system. What sets them apart from plants, however, are two main things. The first being that they are filter feeders; they siphon water through their bodies and specialized cells with cillia catch the food and transport it to speceialized cells to be digested, whereas the vast majority of plants make their own food. The second is that most sponges start out as free-swimming larvae that eventually settle down onto a solid surface and transform into the sessile soft-bodied creatures we know as sponges.

An animal that cannot move freely about its environment?
Plenty of animals are sessile, meaning attached to something like a plant. They include sponges, anemones, corals, barnacles, and sea squirts. Their larva larvae do swim around, though corals can reproduce by budding.
