Mesoderm is not a feature found in sponges. Sponges are multicellular but lack true tissue organization, so they don't have mesoderm. The other choices (B, C, D, and E) are all features found in sponges. Collar cells (also called choanocytes) are specialized cells that help trap and ingest food particles. Larvae are the free-swimming, mobile form of sponges that eventually settle and become sessile adults. Spicules are small, hard structures made of calcium carbonate or silica that provide support and protection. Amoeboid cells are another type of specialized cell found in sponges that can move and perform various functions like digesting food or producing skeletal elements.
