Do sponges have hearts?

Do sponges have hearts?

There is no heart, there are no veins or arteries, and sponges do not have blood. However, they accomplish gas exchange and nutrient consumption through the movement of water. Water is pulled into the sponge via internal choanocyte cells, which take in water through the sponge's outer pores.

No, sponges do not have hearts. Sponges are a type of organism that belongs to the phylum Porifera, which means "pore-bearing". They lack any kind of circulatory system, and therefore do not have a heart or any other organ that pumps blood.

Sponges have no heart, they don't have a circulatory system, nervous, and a digestive system. Sponges do not have blood, so they don't need and don't have a heart.
