Kingdom: Animalia

Sub-divisions of the Animalia Kingdom
spacer closed folder Phylum: Cnidaria - Radiate animals: Germ layers, true tissues, mouth, digestive cavity
spacerOrganisms belonging to the Cnidaria Phylum
spacer spacerThere are currently no organisms belonging to this level in our database

spacer closed folder Phylum: Porifera - Sponges are cell aggregates. They have no germ layers and no true tissues or organs. They filter tiny particles, mainly bacteria, from the water and digest them intracellularly. Among the animals the choanocyte, or flagellated collar cell, is only found in sponges.
