Question

How does mold grow?

Answer 1

Different types of mold grow in different ways. Molds have tiny spores and these spores can reproduce themselves through sexual or asexual reproduction. In sexual reproduction, the mold spore needs another spore to reproduce, while in asexual reproduction, a single spore can reproduce all by itself.

Mold spores can reproduce themselves almost anywhere. They can grow in soil, on roofs, in pots, and even in the air, but they grow most rapidly in dark, moist places.
