Solution

Spore formation:

  1. Spore formation is an asexual reproduction in which the organism disperses minute spores from a sac-like structure called sporangium.
  2. The spores are single-celled and comprise a thin or thick-walled structure called a cyst.

Benefits it an organism reproduces through spores:

  1. A large number of spores are produced and released from a single sporangium.
  2. Due to the dispersal of spores, the competition in one place can be avoided.
  3. The spores are covered by thick walls in order to prevent damage in stressful conditions such as high temperature and low humidity.
