Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -2 Most primary succession begins with lichens. Acids from the lichens begin breaking the rocks into small particles. These particles mix with the remains of dead lichens to start forming soil. Because lichens are the first organisms to live on the rock, they are called pioneer species.

Detailed explanation-2: -The 5 Stages of Succession are Nudation, Invasion, Competition and Co-action, Reaction, and Climax or Stabilization. At the same location, a succession of biotic communities naturally emerges one after another until the Climax stage is reached. In their early stages, biotic communities develop slowly.
