What is the purpose of a spore?

Answer 1

Its the reproductive part of a fungi or a pteridophyta, fern. Might also be the reproductive part of other primitive plants, perhaps hornworts, liverworts, or horsetails also produce spores, I'm not sure, but I know for a fact that ferns do it, as well as all fungi. A spore is like a very small seed, produced in much greater quantity, without the resilliency that seeds have (no seed coat or extra nutrients for the growing organism).

Answer 2

Spores are like the fungi's version of seeds. they are released into the air when ever a gust of wind blows or a water droplet hits it

Answer 3

Spores on a fern are the equivelent to seeds on other plants. They are use for propogation.

Answer 4

A spore functions as a seed, just like any other plant. When planted and nurtured, it grows into a mushroom.
