Answer:

A needle loop is also known as the inoculation loop or smear loop.

It is used to transfer and innoculate microorganisms. Some of the reasons why it is used to prepare fungi slides are:

  1. the base of the needle has a blunted end. This makes for efficient spearing of the fungi samples;
  2. The loop is also useful for manipulations
  3. It is disposable

Cheers!
