What is a spore?
Quick Answer
A spore is a tiny reproductive cell that can grow into a new organism without fertilization. Fungi, mosses, ferns, and some algae produce spores.
The Full Story
Spores are one of the oldest and most widespread reproductive structures in living organisms. In fungi, spores spread by air, water, or animals and can help the species colonize new habitats. In ferns and mosses, spores are part of the life cycle and are not seeds. Because they are often lightweight and numerous, spores are especially successful at dispersal.
