Because they are small
are anthrax spores sensitive to UV light
Ceratopteris spores germinate when they are exposed to water and light. Water triggers the spores to swell and break open, releasing the germinating plantlet. Light is needed to activate the photosynthesis process, enabling the plantlet to grow and develop into a mature fern.
Fungal spores can be killed and their growth prevented by using antifungal agents such as fungicides or by exposing them to high temperatures or UV light.
A compound light microscope is commonly used to observe the spores of a fern. This type of microscope allows for high magnification and resolution, making it ideal for studying small structures like spores.
Fungal spores of histoplasmosis can be killed by heat (above 140°F), ultraviolet light, and certain chemical agents like formalin and bleach. Proper cleaning and disinfection of contaminated surfaces can help prevent the spread of the spores.
Retractile means that the object in question is good at bending light, or refraction. Spores have structures that vary in density compared to the whole. This allows them to be very easily studied under light microscopes.
Mosses reproduce by spores.

Spores
Spores are usually dispersed on the wind. If some spores land in a stream, the water will carry the spores downwards.
