Do sponges have hydrostatic skeletons?
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.
Does a orange elephant ear sponge have a skeletal system?

Skeletal support in sponges may be provided by?
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.
