Sponges Feed Themselves. sponges lack complex digestive, respiratory, circulatory, reproductive, and nervous systems. sponges live in intimate contact with water, which plays a role in their feeding, gas exchange, and excretion. The water flows through a large central cavity called. Their food is trapped when water passes through the ostia and out through the osculum. during feeding, some of the particles taken in by the collar cells are passed on to amoebocytes, which carry them to other. They number approximately 5,000 described species and inhabit all seas, where they occur attached to surfaces from the intertidal zone to depths of 8,500 metres (29,000 feet) or more. sponges are filter feeders. sponge, any of the primitive multicellular aquatic animals that constitute the phylum porifera. Bacteria smaller than 0.5 microns in size are trapped by choanocytes, which are the principal cells engaged in nutrition, and are ingested by phagocytosis. sponges lack complex digestive, respiratory, circulatory, reproductive, and nervous systems. They pump water into their body through their pores.
