The key evolutionary development of animals seen for the first time in sponges is that of Multicellularity.    A Multicellular organism has a longer lifespan than an unicellular organism and since it has multiple cells, it can perform more functions.  Sponges do not have distinct circulatory, respiratory, digestive, and excretory systems – instead the water flow system  supports all these functions.

Multicellularity means having or consisting of many cells or more than one cell to perform all vital functions. Sponge is a member of the phylum Porifera. It is a simple animal with any cells, but no mouth, muscles, heart or brain. It is any primitive multicellular aquatic animal that constitute the phylum stated above.
