Distinct spherical spores of a Zygomycota fungus.

Zygomycota is a Phylum of the Kingdom Fungi. This phylum's name is derived from the method of sexual reproduction used by its members, which involve the creation of zygosporangia and zygospores. Asexual reproduction is possible, but more difficult, so the former is the main way to determine the classification of a Zygomycota. [1]
