Explanation:

In biology, the term spore designates a single-celled or multicellular microscopic body that is formed for dispersion and survival purposes for a long time (dormancy) under adverse conditions, and which is generally a haploid cell. In many eukaryotic beings, it is a fundamental part of their reproduction, originating a new organism by dividing by mitosis (especially in fungi) or meiosis (plants), without having to merge with another cell, while in some bacteria it is instead a inactive stage, resistant to desiccation and for non-reproductive survival purposes. The term derives om the Greek σπορά (sporá), "seed".

The spore is an important element in the biological life cycles of plants, fungi, algae and some protozoa, which usually produce spores in structures called sporangia. In plants, spores are gametophytes within their life cycle and allow the dispersion of the propagules at the same time. Most fungi produce spores; those that do not are called asporogenic fungi.

a. Sugar cane, corn, carbgrass which are identified as C4 Plants allow fixation of carbon dioxide into four carbon compounds. This happens during the  hottest time of the day - their so-called stomata gets partially closed. C4 plants have been identified to lose only half of the water that C3 plants lose when they produce the similar amount of carbs.
