==Phylogeny==
According to the most up-to-date phylogeny, Porifera should not have a direct relationship with Placozoa. In any case, placozoans are likely simplified “coelenterates” without common characteristics with sponges.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Laumer|first1=Christopher E.|last2=Fernández|first2=Rosa|last3=Lemer|first3=Sarah|last4=Combosch|first4=David|last5=Kocot|first5=Kevin M.|last6=Riesgo|first6=Ana|last7=Andrade|first7=Sónia C.
