Organisms in this phylum collect food through amoebocytes and can be found in three body types known as the  asconoid, leuconoid, and syconoid.
Organisms in this phylum collect food through amoebocytes and can be found in three body types known as the  asconoid, leuconoid, and syconoid. In the syconoid type, choanocytes create currents in them, while apopyles serve as  pores that allow for water transport from the atrium into the choanocyte chamber. Totipotent archeocytes allow them to  reproduce, though they are better known for an epidermis layer of pinocytes as well as excretory systems known as  oscula. Sclerocytes produce their skeletal system, which features spicules. FTP, name this invertebrate phylum that  shares a common name with an absorbent cleaning material.
