Advantages of spore formation (5mark)
Spore formation is the method of developing new individuals by forming reproductive structures called spores.
A spore is a small spherical or oval structure that protects the future individual in a thick protective covering. The spore germinates on a substratum under favorable conditions. Some organisms like ferns, some groups of fungi reproduce by spore formation.
Advantages of spore formation
*A spore can withstand adverse conditions like high temperature, low moisture, etc without getting spoiled.
*Spores can also be carried away easily by agents like wind-water etc.
*The organism forming spores can propagate its species by protecting the future individual in a hard thick covering called a spore.
*Spores can grow to produce new plants and do not require sexual interaction with another organism.
