    If you mix up the grindings of multiple sponges, do they only recombine with their own cells?

      Based on the link sent by fossilesque@mander.xyz above, it seems somewhat unlikely. The video mentions that the sponge recombines into multiple small sponges, meaning the cells don’t necessarily remember the original form.

      I very well could be wrong in my interpretation though
