True.
"Imperfect fungi" (Deuteromycetes or Deuteromycota) are defined by the absence of a known sexual (teleomorphic) stage, so they reproduce only asexually (by conidia or other asexual spores). Note: this is an artificial, outdated grouping — many species once called "imperfect" have had sexual stages discovered and been reclassified.
