Homoscleromorpha is phylogenetically well separated from Demospongiae. [4] Therefore, it has been recognized as the fourth class of sponges. [5] [6]It has been suggested that Homoscleromorpha are more closely related to eumetazoans than to the other sponge groups, rendering sponges paraphyletic. [7]
This milestone publication provided an updated comprehensive overview of sponge systematics, the largest revision of this group (from genera, subfamilies, families, suborders, orders and class) since the start of spongiology in the mid-19th century. In this large revision, the extant Demospongiae were organized into 14 orders that encompassed ...

Spongilla lacustris is part of the class demosponges of the phylum Porifera. The Porifera phylum contains all sponges which are characterized by the small pores on the outer layer, which take in water. The cells in the sponge walls filter food from the water. Whatever is not uptaken by the sponge is pumped through the body out of a large opening.
Bolosoma stalked glass sponge. Hexactinellid sponges are sponges with a skeleton made of four- and/or six-pointed siliceous spicules, often referred to as glass sponges.They are usually classified along with other sponges in the phylum Porifera, but some researchers consider them sufficiently distinct to deserve their own phylum, Symplasma.
Hexactinellida is one of four classes of phylum Porifera. [4] Hexactinellida can exist in many different forms and shapes: sac, vase, blade, and branching. Hexactinellida is distinguished from the other three classes of sponge for its siliceous skeletal arrangements (spicules), triaxonic symmetry (six-rayed spicules or hexactins), and its huge ...
