SPONGES ARE MAINLY MARINE animals that make up the phylum proliferate .They are among the simplest of all animals ,having no tissues or organs .Their bodies consist of two layers that is strengthened by mineral spicules or protein fib res . The body is perforated by a system of pores and water channels called the aquifers system .Special cells (choanocytes) with whip like structures (flagella) draws water through the aquifers system , thereby bringing tiny food particles to the sponge's cells.
Jellyfish (class Scyphozoa),sea anemones (class Anthozoa), and corals (also class Antozoa) belong to the phylum Cnidaria , also known as coelenterate . More complex than Sponges ,coelenterates have simple tissues , such as nervous tissue;a radially symmetrical body ; and a mouth surrounded by tentacles with unique stinging cells(cnidocytes)
