Why does coelenterata are regarded as more developed species than porifera

Phylum Coelenterata and phylum Porifera are classified under animal kingdom found in aquatic environments.

Coelenterata include radially symmetrical aquatic animals and phylum Porifera contain sponges.

Coelenterata are developed species than porifera as porifera are cellular level organization and Coelenterata developed into tissue level of organisation. Porifera have pores in there body for different functions and coelenterata develop into only one opening in the body.
