Detailed explanation-1: -Redi went on to demonstrate that dead maggots or flies would not generate new flies when placed on rotting meat in a sealed jar, whereas live maggots or flies would. This disproved both the existence of some essential component in once-living organisms, and the necessity of fresh air to generate life.
Detailed explanation-2: -spontaneous generation, the hypothetical process by which living organisms develop from nonliving matter; also, the archaic theory that utilized this process to explain the origin of life.
Detailed explanation-3: -Redi’s hypothesis, developed by Francesco Redi, said that living organisms came from other living organisms and not from non-living sources. Redi demonstrated this by covering the meat, as a result, no maggots would emerge. He noted that maggots didn’t hatch from the meat unless flies were previously present.
