there are only 2 types of sponges known to man. the carboniferous and the ostrolliferous. the difference between the two is the carboniferous is made of decayed plant and animal waste.
spicules
Most types of sponges have asymmetrical bodies. There are around 10 thousand different types of sponges found in bodies of water all over the world.

Sponges do not have hydrostatic skeletons. Instead, they possess a simple body structure supported by a matrix called mesohyl, which contains various cells and skeletal elements like spicules and collagen fibers. This structure provides support and helps maintain the sponge’s shape, but it lacks the fluid-filled cavities characteristic of hydrostatic skeletons found in other animals. Thus, sponges rely on a different mechanism for structural support.
No sponges have skeletons.
There are 6 different types of sea sponges, the tube sponge, vase sponge, yellow sponge, bright red tree sponge, painted tunicate sponge, and the sea squirt sponge.
No. Sponges only have a few different types of cells and are among the most divergent animal species. They are sessile and were formerly thought to be plants.
porifera are also called sponges some of the sponges are euplectelia spongilla and sycon
There are many different kinds of sponges. Every time you see a sponge with a different shape and color, that is a different species. There are thousands of different species of sponges, tube sponges, encrusting sponges, demosponges, etc. But yes, Porifera only includes sponges. So sponges are the only animals in the Porifera.
sponges are alike to worms
It depends on what animal you're talking about. Invertebrates like sponges and mollusks and insects have no skeleton at all. Sharks and their relatives have a skeleton made of cartilage. Fish and amphibians have bony skeletons.
Sponges lack true skeletons, but some species have structural elements made of mineralized spicules or a protein-based skeletal framework. These structures provide support and help maintain the sponge's shape, allowing it to filter water efficiently.
