The case in which fungal spores are produced

Real World Example

Imagine trying to keep a group of excited children organized and contained during a birthday party. In a similar way, a sporangium acts as a protective case to keep fungal spores organized and contained until they're ready to be released. Just as a party organizer ensures that children don't scatter everywhere, the sporangium ensures that the spores are held together and released in a controlled manner when conditions are right.
