No, Porifera isn't a kingdom, it is the phylum of the sponges. Jellyfish belong to the phylum, Cnidaria, which includes jellyfish, corals, sea pens, and sea anemones. Both phylums, as well as six others, belong to the kingdom of Animalia.
Poriferas branched the earliest of all the phylums of the Animalia kingdom, before tissues even evolved. Cnidarians branched next, with radial symmetry and two layers of epithelial tissues, but before bilateral symmetry emerged.
There are five main phyla in the animal kingdom: Porifera (sponges), Cnidaria (jellyfish, corals), Platyhelminthes (flatworms), Annelida (segmented worms), and Arthropoda (insects, spiders).
Porifera = sponges. Cnidaria = jellyfish Mollusca = molluscs Nematoda = round worms
The phylum Porifera is sponges.
The Animal Kingdom or Kingdom Animalia
Porifera is a phylum, not a kingdom, but I assume you mean the phylum in the kingdom Animalia. According to wikipedia, there are about 5000 different species in Porifera.

Radial symmetry is the main one that distinguishes cnidarians from porifera.
Kingdom: animalia Phylum: Porifera
Sponges are part of the animal kingdom, specifically in the phylum Porifera. They are multicellular organisms that lack true tissues and organs.
Crabs are in the crustacean category, jellyfish are members of the cnidaria. Sponge are porifera.
