Detailed explanation-2: -Although sponges do not have organized tissue, they depend on specialized cells, such as choanocytes, porocytes, amoebocytes, and pinacocytes, for specialized functions within their bodies.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sea sponges have been harvested for centuries. They are used for numerous things, such as cleaning, bathing, personal hygiene, art, décor, and even disease treatment.

Detailed explanation-5: -In addition to the osculum, sponges have multiple pores called ostia on their bodies that allow water to enter the sponge. In some sponges, ostia are formed by porocytes, single tube-shaped cells that act as valves to regulate the flow of water into the spongocoel.
