Rhizopus reproduces by spore formation which is a type of asexual reproduction. It contains tiny blob-on-a stick-like structures which are involved in reproduction. The blobs are sporangia which contain spores which are covered by thick walls that protect them until they come in contact with moist surface and can begin to grow.
