Sponges are not really a source of food to humans. You can eat them but I suggest you don't. It is not normal. They are a source of food to some animals like certain sea slugs, certain fish, and I think some turtles.

Sponges filter their food when water flows by.
No, sea sponges can not make their own food. They obtain their nutrition from the food particles in the water. Sponges primarily eat bacteria, phytoplankton, and other small food bits out of the water.
Collar cells, also known as choanocytes, are responsible for producing the water current through sponges. These specialized cells have flagella that generate the current, bringing in food and oxygen while expelling waste.
The holes in sponges are called pores. These pores help sponges to filter water and capture food particles for nourishment.
sponges feed through their pores or holes, their pores create a current pulling food into the central cavity of the sponge. the food sticks to the collar cells that lines the central cavity, there the amoebocytes pick up the food and digest it, carrying the nutrients to the other cells.summary:porescollar cellsamoebocytesother cells.
