Bread mould reproduces through the mode of spore formation.Spore formation is an asexual mode of reproduction found in certain multicellular organisms like Rhizopus. The thick walled spores have the capacity to develop into new individuals under suitable conditions. Bread mold, once it has matured, will release its spores, which act like seeds, and settle on other areas of the bread, where they grow and continue the cycle
