👉 Parthenospore is a type of cell that appears in the reproductive cycle of some organisms. In this context, it refers to a small, round-shaped cell that typically develops from an egg or sperm and remains dormant until conditions are suitable for its development into a mature cell. Parthenospores are found in various parts of the body, including plants, fungi, and animals. They play important roles in plant reproduction by facilitating the transfer of genetic material between cells.
