The Sponge is a diverse aquatic animal, often appearing as an irregularly shaped, porous mass. It can be brightly colored in yellows, reds, purples, or greens, and its textured surface is covered in tiny holes. Unlike plants, it has no leaves or roots, and unlike other animals, it lacks distinct organs or moving parts.
