Sponges are multicellular animals with an outer and inner membrane (the Ectoderm and Endoderm respectively), with a non-cellular jelly-like matrix between these cellular layers. Sponges have specialized Chanocytes, cells with a flagellum to create a current to draw water over special hair-like projections in a ring around the flagellum. Sponges gain structural strength from spicules, which in some form a type of skeleton. Spicules can be made of protein fibers, silica (glass) or calcium carbonate. Sponges are sessile, they do not move (though certain embryonic stages are capable of movement). Sponges do not necessarily have any particular symmetry to their body form.
