• Definition of invasive species from the text: When an alien species (plant or animal) that does not belong to an ecosystem is introduced, it spreads and competes with the native plants for space and nutrients and becomes problematic in the absence of natural enemies.

Explanation:

• Invasive species are non-native organisms to a particular area. They shift from one place to another and cause harm to the native organisms.
• They also affect the environmental and economic trait of a place. These organisms adapt to new places easily.
• These organisms always out compete the native organisms. Their reproduction and growth is always faster.
• Most of the invasive species always thrive because there are no predators to hunt or compete them.
