The orange puffball sponge, like other sponges, is classified as a producer. It obtains nutrients primarily through filter feeding, absorbing organic particles and microorganisms from the water rather than consuming other organisms. However, sponges do not perform photosynthesis, so they are not producers in the same sense as plants; they rely on the surrounding ecosystem for sustenance. Thus, while they play a crucial role in the marine food web, they do not fit neatly into the traditional categories of producers or consumers.
