Question

Are sponges triploblastic?

Answer 1

Sponges:

1. Sponges belonging to the phylum Porifera have a cellular level of body organization.
2. There is no differentiation of germ layers during their embryonic level.
3. Although the cells are associated together and perform similar functions, they lack a tissue-level organization.
4. Thus, sponges are neither diploblastic nor triploblastic.
