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.
