From the abstract:
These genetic signatures, combined with the existing understanding of Oopsacas minuta’s unusual physiology and genome, seem to indicate that Oopsacas minuta represents an amoebozoan lineage that achieved permanent multicellular organization independently of metazoan developmental pathways, exhibiting morphological convergence toward sponge-like architecture while retaining fundamental amoebozoan genetic identity.

in reply to Zillion • • •@zillion I don't understand what you're asking.
It's closely related to basal glass sponges, yes.
However, the paper discusses there's no evidence is uses silica, which would remove it from the "glass sponges" as defined by silica use. Its spicules are also 4pt, not 6pt. I suggest prioritized testing of its spicules to confirm.
However, that's a different matter then its apparent slime mold and Nuclearia ancestry, which is discussed in detail.
