What is the symmetry of a black ball sponge?

The black ball sponge, known scientifically as Xestospongia muta, exhibits radial symmetry. This means that its body is organized around a central axis, allowing for similar structures to be arranged in a circular pattern around that axis. This symmetry is typical of many sponge species, which enables them to efficiently filter water and capture food particles from all directions. Their simple body plan reflects their evolutionary adaptations to their aquatic environments.
