What is a spore in relation to fungi?

  1. The plant part that absorbs nutrients

  2. The root system of a fungus

  3. The reproductive unit of a fungus like a plant seed

  4. The stem of a fungus

The correct answer is: The reproductive unit of a fungus like a plant seed

A spore is a reproductive unit of a fungus, similar to a seed in a plant. It is not the plant part that absorbs nutrients like roots (A), nor is it the root system of a fungus (B). While fungi do have a root-like structure called mycelium, they do not have true roots. Additionally, a spore is not the stem of a fungus (D). The stem of a fungus is called a stipe and is a structural and supportive component of the organism, unlike the spore which is responsible for reproduction.
