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.
