Sponge Animals of the phylum Porifera

Sponges, the members of the phylum Porifera, are a basal Metazoa (animal) clade as a sister of the Diploblasts. They are multicellular organisms that have bodies full of pores and channels allowing water to circulate through them, consisting of jelly-like mesohyl sandwiched between two thin layers of cells. The branch of zoology that studies sponges is known as spongiology.

Geodiidae is a family of sea sponges.

Robert J. Lendlmayer von Lendenfeld (1858-1913) was an Austrian zoologist, alpinist, and traveler. He was also a notable spongiologist.
