While all organisms need to expel waste in some way or another, in the kingdom Animalia (where "kingdom" here refers to a taxonomical classification) there do exist certain phyla whose excretory functions would be quite poorly described as "pooping". For example, sponges do not have a distinct excretory system (in fact, they don't have distinct circulatory, respiratory or digestive systems either), but instead all of their food is filtered through their porous bodies where it is consumed at a microscopic level by its various cells, and then also discarded at a cellular level.
