Here's why:
* Porifera: Sponges are the simplest multicellular animals. They lack true tissues and organs. Instead, they have specialized cells that perform various functions. Their body is a loose aggregation of cells that filter water for food and oxygen.
* Asymmetry: This means that a sponge's body cannot be divided into two identical halves. They are irregular in shape and lack a definite head, tail, or body axis.
While other phyla like Cnidaria (jellyfish, corals) and Platyhelminthes (flatworms) have simpler body plans compared to higher organisms, they do have organs.
