A spore produced by, or contained in an ascus
Real World Example
Imagine you're trying to pack all your clothes for a vacation into a small suitcase. This situation is similar to how an ascospore is produced and contained within an ascus. Just as your clothes are neatly packed and protected in a suitcase for the journey, ascospores are produced and securely held within an ascus, which acts like a protective and organized container for the spores until they're ready to be released into the environment.
