sea sponge
Ocean's porous organism
A sea sponge is a simple marine animal that attaches to underwater surfaces and filters nutrients from the water.
Despite looking plantlike, sponges are among the oldest animal life forms.
Their soft, porous skeletons have been harvested for centuries for bathing and cleaning: She prefers a natural sea sponge to synthetic loofahs.
