Seeds, usually given off by algae, fungi, protozoan, and other plants it is NOT a bacteria.
According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spores
"In biology, a spore is a reproductive structure that is adapted for dispersion and surviving for extended periods of time in unfavorable conditions. Spores form part of the life cycles of many plants, algae, fungi and some protozoans. A chief difference between spores and seeds as dispersal units is that spores have very little stored food resources compared with seeds."
