Detailed explanation-2: -To be invasive, a species must adapt to the new area easily. It must reproduce quickly. It must harm property, the economy, or the native plants and animals of the region. Many invasive species are introduced into a new region accidentally.

Detailed explanation-3: -The most common characteristics of invasive species are rapid reproduction and growth, high dispersal ability, ability to survive on various food types, and in a wide range of environmental conditions and the ability to adapt physiologically to new conditions, called phenotypic plasticity.

Detailed explanation-4: -An invasive floating plant known as a water hyacinth can be found in water bodies all over the world. These invasive species seriously damage a variety of ecosystem lifeforms by preventing sunlight from entering and oxygen levels from rising in water systems.
