Answer
Some of the advantages of reproduction through spores formation are:
- Spores are often small, lightweight, and easily dispersed by wind, water, or other external factors. This helps them to travel far distances to avoid competition for essential resources required for growth.
- The spores are covered by thick walls that protect them until they come into contact with another moist surface and can begin to grow.
- It helps the parent organism to conserve energy compared to the resources required for more complex reproductive structures (such as seeds or offspring).
