Cnidarians and sponges receive most of their food from filtering water; they would starve without water. Also, they would most likely crush themselves because of their body weight if they were on land.

Why do soft animals like sponges and cnidarians not live on land?

Soft animals like sponges and cnidarians lack the structural support necessary to withstand the forces of gravity and desiccation on land. Their bodies are primarily composed of water, making them vulnerable to drying out in terrestrial environments. Additionally, these organisms rely on a buoyant aquatic habitat for feeding and reproduction, which would be unfeasible in a terrestrial setting. Consequently, their physiological adaptations are suited for life in water, limiting their survival on land.
