Answer 2

The questions should he asked about the plant are:

A. Can then plant survive with few nutrients and little water?

B. How large does the plant grow?

E. How many offspring does this plant produce at one time?

Step-by-step explanation:

• Pioneer species are some plant species which are the first to colonize the ecosystem in ecological succession.
• They are called the pioneer as they grow either on the barren lands or on the rocks, in the limited resources.
• Such plant species play a key role in succession as they enhance the soil with the nutrients as they can generate acidic compounds that can degrade the rocks or they enrich the soil with nutrients upon degradation and decomposition.
• Thus growth of plant, number of offspring a plant can generate and survival of plant with limited resources are the basic queries to detect a pioneer species.
