Zygospore

Real World Example

Imagine you've received a new gadget as a gift, but you decide to keep it stored safely in its packaging until you actually need it. This is similar to how a zygospore functions, keeping the zygotes protected within its thick walls until environmental conditions are optimal for growth. Just like how you wait for the right moment to bring out and use your gadget, a zygospore waits for the right conditions—such as the right temperature or moisture—to germinate and grow, ensuring that the precious zygotes inside have the best chance of thriving.
