#aplanospore

• Akinetospore — An asexual, unicellular reproductive spore completely lacking flagella or cilia and consequently non-motile (immobile), characteristic of certain species of green algae, red algae, or lower fungi; unlike zoospores, it cannot move autonomously in the aquatic environment, being passively dispersed by water currents or wind. This biological structure is protected by a well-developed, rigid cell wall that allows it to survive unfavorable ecological conditions (such as temporary drought or temperature drops) until the environment becomes optimal for germination.
• Aplanospore — A non-motile asexual spore, lacking cilia or flagella, provided with its own cell wall that is distinct from the membrane of the mother cell inside which it formed. This structural type of spore is characteristic of certain species of green algae and fungi, being adapted for survival and passive dissemination through air or water currents, unlike motile zoospores.
