Science because thats what my dad said and also thats what came up when I googled it.
This would be an invasive species which is not native to the environment. It can cause harm either because it over grows (if it's a plant.) Or if it's an animal, it will reproduce and most likely take over the environment. This is because it feels the need to compete for materials, but ends either taking most or all of it. Which then ruins the food chain depending on it's diet. If it's eating a plant, then other animals that eat that plant no longer have any food. And vice versa if it's feeding on animals. Other predators, no longer have their food.
