Sponges do not breathe in the traditional sense like animals with lungs. Instead, they rely on a process called filter feeding, where they draw water in through their porous bodies, allowing oxygen and nutrients to be extracted directly from the water. This water then exits through larger openings, carrying away waste products. Essentially, sponges obtain the oxygen they need from the water flowing through them.
