Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Primary succession begins on land where there are no living organisms. For example, after a volcanic eruption, the land is primarily bare for three to five years until lichens, moss, and small pioneer species of plants begin to grow. The first species to populate the area are called pioneer species.
Detailed explanation-2: -1: Pioneer species are the first to colonize: During primary succession in lava on Maui, Hawaii, succulent plants are the pioneer species. After weathering breaks down the lava into soil, the plants are able to take root.
