Detailed explanation-1: -Final answer: Bread mould reproduces asexually by spore formation.

Detailed explanation-2: -How does mold grow? Mold reproduces via the production of small spores. These spores can be compared to the seeds of a plant, though they are much smaller than seeds or even pollen grains. Their small size makes them easy to disperse via wind and water.

Detailed explanation-3: -In fungi like bread molds, asexual reproduction occurs through spore formation. A number of sporangia are produced by the parent plant which contains spores. The bursting of sporangia releases spores in the environment which grow and gives rise to new plants.

Detailed explanation-4: -Moisture contributes to the faster growth of mold. Hence, do not allow your bread to turn moist. It is always better to preserve the bread that is brought from the store, in its original packaging bag. If you are making bread at home, use ingredients that contain oils, like butter, eggs, milk, etc.
