Solution

The correct statement about sponges is: "They are multicellular but do not have true tissues."

Sponges, belonging to the phylum Porifera, are indeed multicellular organisms. However, unlike most other multicellular organisms, they do not have true tissues. Tissues are groups of similar cells that work together to perform a specific function, and while sponges do have specialized cells for different functions, these cells do not organize into true tissues.
