Retractile means that the object in question is good at bending light, or refraction. Spores have structures that vary in density compared to the whole. This allows them to be very easily studied under light microscopes.

Spores are refractile due to their thick, protective cell walls composed of various proteins and polysaccharides. This structure helps the spore survive harsh conditions by providing physical protection and preventing desiccation. The refractile nature of spores also contributes to their resistance to environmental stressors.
