Spore Producing

177 objects

Discover how some plants and fungi create tiny little "seeds" called spores to help them grow new life! These tiny particles drift in the air, spreading new generations far and wide.

Spore-producing organisms reproduce by releasing small, often single-celled, reproductive units called spores.
