Sponges are animals because they are in the phylum poridfera, which is an animal phylum, they can reproduce asexualy and sexually, and when they reproduce sexually, they use sperm and eggs instead of using other stuff that plants and fungi use to reproduce. A sponge are also a consumer, that means it eats other things, they eat almost like oysters, they filter the little organisms in water through collar cells that traps the little organism, the collar cells have whiplike structures that beat back and forth, that's how they trap food. They also have pores, all sponges have pores, it's very obvious that they have pores, and i dont think plant, bacter, fungi, or protist have pore.
