Read and Understand the Phenomenon: While exploring a forest trail, you find a strange object stuck to a tree branch. It has a rough, outer shell and inside is a soft, greenish material. Over several days, you notice the shell cracking, and tiny, leaf-like structures emerging. A week later, it is fully open and producing small spores that fall to the ground.
Which characteristic of life is best demonstrated when the object produces spores?
Energy Usage
Reproduction
Response to stimuli
Cellular organization
