The sponge body depends on the ability to control and maintain water flow throughout the flagellated canals and round chambers depending on the type of body design the sponge has. Water brings with it oxygen, and microscopic food, and takes away carbon dioxide and nitrogenous wastes along with the sponges gametes (only sperm as egg is not released) and larvae.
