These organisms possess amoeba-like cells called archaeocytes that assist with nutrient delivery and skeletal formation.
These organisms possess amoeba-like cells called archaeocytes that assist with nutrient delivery and skeletal formation. Like members of Placozoa, all members of this taxonomic group are placed in the subkingdom Parazoa. The outer epidermis of these animals is called the pinacoderm, and the feeding mechanism of these animals involves creating a current in the (*) osculum that helps flagellated choanocytes catch food particles. In this phylum, spicules provide structure and support to otherwise asymmetrical and soft mesohyl-filled bodies. For ten points, name this phylum of simple, sessile animals called sponges.
