Solution

Bread mould (Rhizopus fungus) reproduces by the method called ‘spore formation’.

Spores are formed inside a sporangium which burst open and germinate to form new organisms.

It is an asexual method of reproduction.

In spore formation gamete formation is not involved and only one parent organism can give rise to multiple daughter organisms.
