Quick question about bacterial spore or endospore?

Hello everyone,

 

Why is bacterial endospore not called a true spore. So true spore must be an off spring right. In endospore formation bacteria replicates itself and mother DNA dies, so what is inside the endospore is an off spring, not the dormant form of orginal bacteria. So why is endospore not a true spore? Thank you :)

Why do you think that an endospore is not a spore? Maybe you are confusing bacterial spores with eukaryotic spores?
