Answer:

Porifera are 'pore bearing' organisms, commonly known as sponges, that come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. ... The main features of their body include a skeleton composed of a fine mesh of needle-like spicules, which support the cells of the organism, and specialized filtering cells called choanocytes.

It is a phylum of primitive invertebrate animals comprising the sponges and having a cellular grade of construction without true tissue or organ formation but with the body permeated by canals and chambers through which a current of water flows and passes in its course through one or more cavities lined with choanocytes.
