The main advantage of producing endospores is that they are used to ensure certain things are sterile. Autoclaves use endospores to successfully grow.
An adaptive advantage regarding bacteria forming groups of cells is that these groups of cells can eventually become colonies.
Endospores lay dormant until conditions are such that they can re-activate the cell.
Since some organisms are able to switch metabolic pathways depending on if oxygen is available they have an adaptive advantage. For other organisms if there is no oxygen then there is no respiration.
Omnivores have an adaptive advantage. This is because they are able to eat two different food sources in case one disappears.

Endospores store genetic material.
i thought i knew but im not going to lie.I hate spiders
Bacillus cells produce endospores.
Endospores are able to exist for hundreds of years before they resume growth. Saprophytes are decomposing bacteria that contain endospores.
To differentiate the bacterial endospores from the vegetative cells and to identify the morphology and location of the bacterial endospores.
This allows organisms to live in a wider range of temperatures
