The endospore does not belong with the capsule and pilus. While capsules and pili are external structures that serve specific functions in bacterial attachment and protection, endospores are internal, dormant structures formed by certain bacteria to survive unfavorable conditions. Capsules and pili are involved in interactions with the environment, whereas endospores are primarily for survival and not for immediate interaction.
