Features of phylum porifera are given below
1.They are generally marine
2.Mostly asymmetrical animals
3.They have a cellular level of organisation
4.Sponges have a water transport or canal system
5. Digestion is intracellular
6.The body is supported by Skeleton made up of spicules or spongin fibres
