sponges feed through their pores or holes, their pores create a current pulling food into the central cavity of the sponge. the food sticks to the collar cells that lines the central cavity, there the amoebocytes pick up the food and digest it, carrying the nutrients to the other cells.
summary:
pores
collar cells
amoebocytes
other cells.

How do sponges differ from other animals?
Sponges lack a true body cavity.Sponges exhibit radial symmetry.Sponges lack true tissues.Sponges are autotrophs.Sponges have a true coelom.-@leilooni
What kind of special traits do sponges have?
Sponges have unique cellular structures that allow them to filter feed by pumping water through their bodies. They can regenerate from small pieces of tissue, making them resilient to damage. Sponges also have a simple body plan with specialized cells that can perform different functions, such as capturing food or secreting skeletal elements.
Does sponge conduct electricity?
An insulator or neither. The water inside of the sponge is what would conduct electricity.
Tiny hard needles of silica or calcium carbonate that make up the skeleton of some sponges?
Spicules are tiny hard needles made of silica or calcium carbonate that provide structural support to the body of certain sponges. These spicules can vary in shape and size depending on the species of sponge and are often used in taxonomy to classify sponges.
Where does natural sponge come from?
Natural sponges are sea animals that live on the ocean floor. They are harvested by divers, who carefully cut them from their base before allowing them to grow back. Once harvested, the sponges are cleaned, processed, and then sold for various uses.
Do all animals ingest food through a mouth?
No. There are multi-cellular animals, such as sponges, that don't have mouths but still take in food.
Do sea sponges drink water?
While Sea Sponges need water for all life functions, they do not drink water in mammalian sense; they instead ingest water for obtaining food, oxygen, and removing wastes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sponge
How do sponges process their food?
Sponges process their food by fillter feed and fillter fecies...
How do sponges get nutriton?
Sponges filter their food when water flows by.
What are the consumers that surround engulf and ingest their food?
Consumers that surround, engulf, and ingest their food are typically categorized as filter feeders or predators. Examples include certain marine animals like jellyfish and sponges, which capture food particles from the water, and larger predators like octopuses and some fish that actively hunt and consume prey. These organisms utilize various feeding mechanisms to capture and digest their food, playing essential roles in their ecosystems.
How do you ingest food?
Eat it
Do sea sponges make there own food?
No, sea sponges can not make their own food. They obtain their nutrition from the food particles in the water. Sponges primarily eat bacteria, phytoplankton, and other small food bits out of the water.
Do protists absorb or ingest food?

The term for taking food in?
