Solution
Though all members of Animalia are multicellular, all of them do not exhibit the same pattern of organisation of cells. For example, in sponges, the cells are arranged as loose cell aggregates, i.e. they exhibit the cellular level of organisation. Some division of labour (activities) occurs among the cells. Hence, the body of sponges does not possess a tissue level of organisation.
