A spore is formed by bacteria when the environment around it starts to become less favorable for growth (eg. depletion in nutrients, increase in temperatures, drop in moisture of the environment, etc). these spores lay dormant until the conditions become favorable again. When the environment changes to more favorable conditions the bacteria will develop and begin a new colony following the bacterial cycle

The spore can resist extremes of dryness, heat and some are dispensers of toxins. A sort of " suspended animation " of bacteria in inhospitable environments. Google endospore.
