Classification Notes
... Sponges are aquatic animals that represent a transition from unicellular to multicellular life. Of the 10,000 species of sponges, only about 150 species live in fresh water. Adult sponges are sessile, meaning that they attach themselves to a surface and do not move. Because they are sessile, sponges ...
