Sponges primarily consist of three major cell types: choanocytes, amoebocytes, and pinacocytes. Choanocytes, or collar cells, are responsible for capturing food particles and creating water currents through the sponge. Amoebocytes play a versatile role, aiding in digestion, nutrient distribution, and reproduction. Pinacocytes form the outer protective layer of the sponge, providing structure and regulating water flow.

No, the cells of sponges do not have cell walls. Instead, sponge cells are held together by a gelatinous extracellular matrix called mesohyl. This allows for flexibility and mobility of the sponge's body.
