Bacteria will form spores as a means of survival when the environment they are in reaches a critical mass. Population explosions will cause a decrease in nutrients making a food source scarce and waste products increase; this creates an unfavorable environment for bacteria to thrive in. For protection they will form a spore coat and lie dormant until a more suitable environment is available to vegetate. Spores are also a way that bacteria are transported from environment-to-host, or host-to-host.
The main function of spores is to facilitate dispersal and reproduction in organisms such as fungi, plants, and some protists. Spores are structures that are able to survive harsh conditions and travel through air, water, or other means to reach new environments. Once in a suitable environment, spores can germinate and give rise to new individuals.
The main function of hyphae is to absorb nutrients from the environment in fungi. They also provide structural support and aid in the reproduction of fungi by producing spores.
The main function of a mature sporophyte is to produce spores through meiosis, which will develop into gametophytes. The sporophyte is the diploid, spore-producing phase of the plant life cycle, while the gametophyte is the haploid, gamete-producing phase.
Microspores develop inside the microsporangium
There are where the spores form and from where they are distributed into the air.
The function of spores in ferns is reproduction. Spores are produced in sporangia on the underside of fern fronds, and once dispersed, they can develop into new fern plants under suitable conditions, forming a new generation.

It collects spores before to reproduction.
The main purpose of a mushrooms cap or"pileus" is to make and disperse the trillions of spores needed to germinate only a few more fungi.
The function of gills on a mushroom is to hold and release the spores that a mushroom produces.

Mold spores are replete with organelles which is a complex of cellular structure. The nucleus is the most conspicuous organelles. It contains the DNA and has the function of reproduction. In prokaryotic spores the DNA is free in their cytoplasma.

The spores are protected by hard protective coat because the environment the spores might land, is not that very friendly. And the function of that covering is to protect the spore.
