Advantages of spore formation:

• The organism does not need male and female reproductive organs.
• Organisms do not waste their energy unnecessarily in producing male and female gametes.
• Large numbers of spores are produced in one sporangium.
• Spores do not require any medium for dispersal. They are rounded and very light in weight and hence can be easily transferred for germination.
• Spores are distributed easily by air to far-off places to avoid competition at one place.
• Spores are covered with thick walls to prevent dehydration under unfavourable conditions.
