Explanation:

Spore, a reproductive cell capable of developing into a new individual without fusion with another reproductive cell. Spores thus differ from gametes, which are reproductive cells that must fuse in pairs in order to give rise to a new individual. Spores are agents of asexual reproduction, whereas gametes are agents of sexual reproduction. Spores are produced by bacteria, fungi, algae, and plants.

Rhizopus, mushroom etc., reproduce by spore formation. The three conditions favourable for spores to germinate and grow are as follows:

Moisture

Oxygen

Nutrients
