How does a sponge obtain food? and how does it digest it?

Answer 1

A sponge has a specialized type of cells that have flagella. The flagella beat and produce a current of water through the interior of the sponge. In the water there are zooplankton (microscopic floating animals) and phytoplankton (plants). When the plankton are within the sponge, individual cells trap the particles in food vacuoles and digest them. Each cell feeds independently.
