The answer
SPORE
What spore means
A tiny reproductive unit produced by plants, fungi, and some bacteria that can develop into a new organism without needing to fuse with another cell.
Where the word comes from
From Greek spóra, meaning "a sowing" or "seed," derived from speirein, "to sow." The term was adopted into scientific Latin as spora to describe the microscopic reproductive units released by fungi, mosses, and ferns. English borrowed it directly in the 17th century as botanists needed precise language for these tiny structures that disperse like seeds but are simpler in form.
