Cephalization is the differentiation of end part of the body into a head in which nerve tissue is concentrated. Sponges have a very loose nervous system and their cells work individually, not controlled by a nervous system. Since they have no defined head as a consequence of concentrated nervous system, the sponges could not have cephalization either.
