"Not all animals move about. The sponges, for example, grow attached to the substratum. They have internal moving parts which create currents in the water, thus drawing food towards the sponge. Since this was not apparent to the early naturalists, they classified sponges and many other stationary animals as plants. While there is no longer any doubt that the sponge in the bathroom or the piece of coral decorating the mantelpiece are the skeletons of animals, the question 'What is an animal?' is not always easy to answer exactly."
- Ralph Buchsbaum, 'Animals without Backbones' (Volume One)
