What if you cut it in half first, would the ground up halves restore to half a sponge?
Then what if you stir the sponge powder and remove half.

I have had new ideas too, what if you combine fractions of different sponges?

So, my assumption is: separated cells with the same genetic code, or some other biomarker of “individuality” that might not technically be unique, will attach to each other given the chance.
Super quick research suggests they don’t have organs or a nervous system, but do have specialized bits like flagella to move water through their pores/tunnels. The majority of the cells just … are. Sounds more like a colony of genetically identical cells than a single multi-cellular creature (to me), but I assume biologists have much more information and reason to consider them the way they do.

So could we clone them and then grow them larger again, then once they regrow combine them into a super sponge!
