Spallanzani's experiment did not completely disprove the hypothesis of spontaneous generation because critics argued that sealing the containers prevented the vital force of air from entering. However, it did provide strong evidence to support the idea that microorganisms do not arise spontaneously but come from other living organisms or pre-existing sources.
