Baby sponges are simply referred to as larva. At the larva stage, they swim around in the water, but full grown sponges attach themselves to reefs and don't swim or move around.

How does digestion in cnidarians differ from digestion in sponges?

Digestion in cnidarians occurs through a gastrovascular cavity where food is captured using specialized cells called nematocysts, and partially digested within this central cavity. In contrast, sponges lack a digestive cavity and instead filter feed by drawing water through their porous bodies, trapping food particles with specialized cells called choanocytes. This means that cnidarians can digest food more actively and internally, while sponges rely on external filtering and cellular uptake for nourishment.
