Detailed explanation-1: -Human activities, such as those involved in global commerce and the pet trade, are considered to be the most common ways invasive plants, animals, microbes, and other organisms are transported to new habitats.

Detailed explanation-2: -Human activities are the biggest cause of the spread of invasive species. Sometimes humans move animals and plants around the world deliberately, for example to change an environment, as a form of pest control, to hunt, as horticultural specimens or to keep as pets.

Detailed explanation-3: -Invasive species are animals or plants from another region of the world that don’t belong in their new environment. They can be introduced to an area by ship ballast water, accidental release, and most often, by people.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plants that do not occur naturally in a region but proliferate in the area they have been introduced into, and cause several negative impacts (such as affecting native biodiversity, causing economic losses and harming human health) in these new habitats, are called invasive plants.

Detailed explanation-5: -Introduced species, also called alien species, are those that have been moved by humans to an environment where they didn’t occur naturally. The term can refer to animals, plants, fungi, or microorganisms that are non-native to an area. Species introduction can be accidental or intentional.
