Amoebocytes are the cells responsible for manufacturing the structural materials of sponges such as spicules and spongin. Pore cells are responsible for creating the channels that allow water to flow through the sponge, epidermal cells are responsible for covering the outer surface of the sponge, choanocytes are responsible for capturing and digesting food particles, and zygotes are the result of sexual reproduction and do not play a direct role in structural material manufacture.
