Sponges, belonging to the phylum Porifera, do not have true tissues or organs, which differentiates them from more complex animals. They lack a nervous system, digestive system, and circulatory system, relying instead on the flow of water through their porous bodies for nutrient intake and waste removal. Additionally, sponges do not possess specialized structures like fins, limbs, or a centralized body plan, which are found in many other animal groups.
