Three major factors:\n\n1: Lack of symmetry. Sponges simply grow, plant like, to suit their environment. They have neither radial nor bilateral symmetry.\n\n2)Lack of tissues and organs. Sponges have some specialised cell types, but those cells are scattered more or less at random over the body. The cells aren't arranged into co-operative organ and tissue systems as they are in higher animals.\n\n3)The similarity of the choanocytes to choanoflagellates. There is no clear dividing line between the primary functional cells of sponges and the single-celled choanoflagellates.

Sponges are aquatic sessile animals which scientifically known as Porifera. They can reproduce asexually by budding or branching at the base. \n\nThey can also reproduce sexually. They are hermaphrodites. Amoebocytes can divide to become sperm cells and liberated first. Similarly, eggs are produced and become zygotes after fertilised by sperm cells from another sponge.\n\nZygotes develop into flagellated swimming larvae. When they found suitable environment they attach to the substratum to start sessile life. \n\nThey have very strong regenerative power. Broken part can be replaced and fragments can regenerate to become new individual.\n\nAnd i think they eat plankton.\n\nhope this helps!

Duma, I see you've already asked this question twice. What you should do is contact some invertebrate researcher (in a museum or natural history institution) for help, because local keys and checklists of fauna are not easy to find unless one knows where to look for them.\n\nHere are some links to papers with reference to Asian species, that's the closest I could get.\nhttp://zoolstud.sinica.edu.tw/Journals/39.4/285-294.pdf\nhttp://zoolstud.sinica.edu.tw/Journals/40.4/276.pdf\nhttp://www.senckenberg.uni-frankfurt.de/odes/03-11.pdf\n\nHere's a link to a journal that specializes in invertebrate systematics:\nhttp://www.publish.csiro.au/nid/121/issue/529.htm\n\nAnd here's the citation of two papers about freshwater earthworms:\n \nOhtaka, A.; Usman, R. 1997. Records of tubificid oligochaetes from Padang, West Sumatra, Indonesia, with description of a new species of Aulodrilus Bretscher. Species Diversity 2: 145-154.\nOhtaka, A.; Hartoto, D.I.; Usman, R. 2000. Preliminary study on freshwater Oligochaeta in Indonesia. Rep. Suwa Hydrobiol. 12: 29-38\n\nYou coult try to contact Mr Ohtaka.\nhttp://read.jst.go.jp/ddbs/plsql/KNKY_EG_24?code=1000003153

Can't see the whole answer, but #1 looks right so far.\n\nMnemonic below:\nKing Phillip Came Over For Good Spaghetti=\nK P C O F G S=\nKingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species

Use the Linnaeus System:\n\nKingdom Phylum Class Order Family Genus Species\n\nA way to remember it: Katie Put Clams On Fred's Giant Stomach. I learned it in HS Biology 30+ years ago and never have forgotten it.

Richard Dawkins has two wonderful chapters on cnidarians (jellyfish) and poriferans (sponges) in 'The Ancestor's Tale.'\n\nCnidarians have two body plans, the medusa (jellyfish) and the polyp (sea anemones and hydras).  Polyps often reproduce by budding and can make huge colonies of organisms.  The portuguese-man-of-war is actually a complex colony of medusa and polyp forms.  (BTW, he has a great discussion about how the stinger cell in jellyfish may be the most complex structure in any cell anywhere in the animal and plant kingdoms. Way cool!)\n\nPoriferans (sponges) are even simpler organisms.  Although they are ostensibly multicellular organisms, with several types of cells, these cells don't organize themselves into specialized tissues and organs. Sponges are able to reproduce both asexually and sexually.\n\nSo the evolutionary significance is that an individual is basically a colony.  As such they are right at the boundary between single-celled and multi-celled creatures.  They demonstrate how multi-celled organisms could arise as a colony of cooperating single-cells.

Yes. The phylum Annelida consists of the segmented worms. It includes the Classes Polychaeta (many haired worms), Oligocheata (sparcely haired worms), and Hirudinea (leeches).

Actually, sponges are mostly colonial. They belong to Pylum Porifera and are almost exclusively marine.  Many smaller individuals group together and partner to form the structures you see and function as a unit. There are species which are solitary. Solitary sponges and colonies range in diameter from about 1/2 in. to 5 ft (1–150 cm) and vary greatly in shape. Some are branched, some more or less globular, and some are thin encrustations on rocks and pilings.\nPoriferans  are one of the simplest multi-cellular animals. 98% of this phylum consists of marine species. They have a cellular level of organization, without any organs or tissues. Sponges consist of several different cell types, each specialized for a different purpose and all working independently of one another. Canals run throughout the body of the sponge, cycling through water for feeding, gamete dispersal, waste disposal, and gas exchange. Colonial sponges often have many small ostia (inflow; sing. ostium) and share one large osculum (outflow; pl. oscula). Structure is present in the form of calcium carbonate or silica spicules embedded in a gelatinous mesohyl layer. Also embedded in the mesohyl are unspecialized cells called archaeocytes. Archaeocytes perform various functions, including: intracellular digestion, gamete production, and waste elimination. Sponges also have the amazing ability to self-recognize and reform if broken apart; archaeocytes are thought to function in this as well. Flagellated cells, called choanocytes or collar cells, create water flow as well as capture small food particles and incoming sperm. Sponges are divided into three classes, distinguished by differences in structure: Demospongiae (like your common bath sponge), Calcarea, and Hexactinallida. They are also divided into functional groups based on form complexity.\n\nSo the answer is really BOTH.

They are also known as a Ctenophore or "comb jelly". Here are some photos:\nhttp://www.imagequest3d.com/photos/combjellies/\n\nThere are many different types. \n\nHere's a good description at Encyclopedia Britannica:\nhttp://www.britannica.com/eb/article-9028096

You are clearly referring to the Class Cephalopoda (squids, octopi, etc.).  It is in the Phylum Mollusca.  Most molluscs, however, have moderate to poor eyesight relative to arthropods and cephalopods (snails and clams are molluscs) so saying the Phylum Mollusca is the correct choice is a bit off.
