Cocci bacteria is spherical, but yes sometimes it is in clumps.

It is, when used to mean shaped like a circle or cylinder
No, cocci look like clusters of grapes and rods are rod-shaped.
Spherically shaped bacteria are called coccus, or cocci (pl). An example would be Streptococcus.
A spore is a dormant, resistant structure formed by some bacteria for survival in harsh conditions, while cocci-shaped bacteria are spherical in shape. Spores can be produced by various bacteria, including cocci-shaped bacteria, but not all cocci-shaped bacteria produce spores.
Coccus (plural cocci): circular or spherical Bacillus (plural bacilli): rod-shaped Spirillum (plural spirilla): spiral shaped, long and thin.

Coccus or cocci
The scientific name for cocci is coccus (plural: cocci). They are a type of spherical-shaped bacteria.
The broad term is a coccus. The way cocci (plural) arrange themselves cause them to gain other names, such as streptococcus (a chain of cocci).
Bacilli are rod-shaped bacteria, while cocci are spherical-shaped bacteria. Bacilli can appear singly, in pairs, or in chains, whereas cocci can appear singly, in pairs (diplococci), in clusters (staphylococci), or in chains (streptococci).
Coccus is a sphere shaped bacteria
No, cocci, bacilli, and spirilla are terms used to describe bacterial shapes. They refer to spherical, rod-shaped, and spiral-shaped bacteria, respectively. Fungi have different shapes like yeast, mold, or mushroom.
No, cocci bacteria are typically not associated with endospores. Endospores are a dormant, tough, and non-reproductive structure produced by certain bacteria like Bacillus and Clostridium, which are rod-shaped bacteria. Cocci bacteria are spherical in shape and do not produce endospores.
