A household sponge is a cleaning product that absorbs liquids very well. The spaces between the fibers absorb water and prevent it from flowing back immediately. The water remains trapped inside the sponge until it is wrung out.
In the past, the dried remains of sponge animals were primarily used as sponges. Today, most household sponges are made of viscose. Vegetable sponges are also available. These so-called luffa sponges are made from dried cucurbits.

I am always in awe of Judi May's wonderful still life images, particularly her home baking! Today she has inspired me to try and create an image with the ingredients I am using today to bake a lemon sponge cake for my parents for Easter Sunday....
