Answer:

Physical characteristics: Freshwater sponges are crustlike, branched, or clumped. The texture is fragile and soft, and the color is whitish or green. Freshwater sponges have irregularly scattered and barely visible water-exit holes.

Geographic range: Freshwater sponges live in North America, Europe, and Asia.

Habitat: Freshwater sponges live in standing and running fresh water.

Diet: Freshwater sponges are filter feeders.

Behavior and reproduction: Scientists know little about how freshwater sponges behave. These sponges reproduce asexually by forming buds in late summer that spend the winter in a dormant state and emerge from the adult in the spring. Freshwater sponges reproduce sexually during the summer, giving birth to live larvae.
