Meaning of "zoospore" in English

A zoospore is a type of motile spore found in certain algae, fungi, and protozoa. These spores are typically flagellated, which means they have one or more whip-like structures called flagella that enable them to swim. Zoospores play a crucial role in the life cycle of the organisms that produce them, as they can move through water to reach favorable environments or hosts for reproduction and growth. Their motility allows them to effectively disperse and colonize new areas, aiding in the spread and survival of their species.

Meaning of "zoospore" in French

In French, a "zoospore" refers to the same biological concept, describing a motile spore capable of independent movement, usually through flagella, in certain algae, fungi, and protozoa. These zoospores are essential for the reproduction and propagation of the species that produce them, allowing them to navigate aquatic environments to find suitable conditions for growth. The presence of flagella enables these spores to move in search of nutrients or optimal environments, thus playing a significant role in their life cycle and ecological expansion.
