How are cells organized into more advanced levels?

Protozoans are the unicellular orgnisms and poriferans are multicellular. Even though group of cells are present in porifera but no grouping (tissues) is formed. It is due to the absence of nerve cells and sensory cells. Later groups like cnidaria to chordata are have great co ordination of cells to form tissue grade and organ system grade because of the presence and the development of nervecells and sensory cells only. so organization cells is improved in the animals by the improvement of nerve cells into nervous tissue and that into nervous system.

What members of porifera are diploblastic?

Porifera (sponges) have no specialized cells. To be diploblastic animal phyla must have a minimum of two cell layers referred to as ectoderm and endoderm. The absence of these cell types make it impossible for any members of porifera to be diploblastic.
