Algae. These pioneer species don't need much to survive, therefore, common pioneer species are bacterial organisms and fungi.

<u>Answer</u>: Algae

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • <em>Primary</em> succession is the type of succession which occurs in an area which was previously unoccupied and thus, has no formed soiled substratum.
  • A <em>pioneer</em> species is the one which are the first to colonise an area.
  • Now, when the primary succession has to take place, species like orchids, pineapple trees and sugar cane cannot be pioneer species as they require a nutrient rich and well developed soil substratum for their growth.
  • However, species like algae are very <em>hardy</em> and can begin their growth on nutrient deficient place with the available moisture. These can easily survive in a hostile environment and further pave the way for higher species and increase the diversity of a region.

Thus,<em> in areas where lava no longer flows and primary succession has to take place, only algae can be the pioneer species.</em>
