Scientists have made a new discovery in the depths of the ocean

Researchers have for the first time recorded the movement of marine sponges, which were previously thought to be sedentary organisms.

Scientists have used an unmanned aerial vehicle to study the Langset section of an underwater mountain in the Arctic Ocean.

Researchers have found traces of sea sponges left behind. They are multicellular animals that cling to the bottom of the sea and swim in water. These creatures do not have tissues or organs, they are made up of various cells that carry water through the body's internal channels. There is evidence that sponges can move by opening and closing. This allows them to avoid unfavorable environmental conditions, find food and move after reproduction.
