### Phylum Zygomycota

1. **Observe Rhizopus vegetative with sporangia.** Label the following: hypha, sporangiophore, sporangium, spores, ploidy.

#### Image Description:

- **Left Image:** Displays a microscopic view of Rhizopus with several round, dark structures known as sporangia. These are connected to thin, thread-like structures called hyphae. The sporangia are borne on stalks known as sporangiophores.

- **Right Image:** Shows a close-up of a single sporangium. The surface appears textured with a dense aggregation of spores inside. The sporangium is supported by its stalk, the sporangiophore. 

This visualization is crucial for understanding the reproductive structures of Rhizopus in the Zygomycota phylum. The labeling of each part aids in the study of fungal morphology and lifecycle.
