We have to comment on the statement :
Sponge though solid is compressible.
Answer :
This is because the sponge has tiny holes.
These tiny holes trap the air.

When we press the sponge , the air is expelled out of it and that's why it can be compressed.
Otherwise the solids can't be pressed because of high force of attraction between the particles of solid.
