Zoke zinamaboda anencenye encani nofana ekulu evulekileko. Imibalazo ihluka ukusuka ko-orentji kanye nobovu ukuya konzima, ofipheleko kanye nozotho.

Ilwazi Elivamileko

Umkhakha wama-Porifera wakhiwe mihlobazo engaphezu kwe-15 000. Kuya ngemihlobazo, kodwana zakhiwe ngomtofo wokuhlamba, o-lime nofana orhanyazelako nekungizo ezigcina isakhiwo sayo. Iinhlutjhwana ezincani (flagellae) zikhamba ngemanzini ngaso, nekungikho lokho ekusizako ngokudla. Ikghona ukukhula ukwenzeka kabutjha ukusuka kokuncani. Ikhiqizeka ngokuthi ihlanganise imirabho nofana ngendlela ebizwa i-planktonic larvae.

Ukudla Kwazo

Ziphila ngokudla iququ nofana iintokana zezinto ezincani. Kesinye isikhathi ziba mhlobo odla inyama kwaphela – zidla iinlwanyana ezincani ezithayako zobukhulu obungaphasi kwemilimitha eyodwa.

Ukusabalala Kwazo

Zitholakala kiwo woke amalwandle womhlaba wobujamo bezinga elifuthumeleko kanye nelitjhisako.
