As you can see in the table presented below, in the first few years after the eruption, there was a significant number of moss species present.
Pioneer species are species that are very resilient and first to inhabit new habitats or repopulate disrupted ones, so in this example, mosses are the most likely candidate for pioneer species.

Which problem would quickly occur in a plant when the xylem is not functioning properly?

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

A. The plant would wilt.

Explanation:

In order to stay healthy and fresh, plants like every other living organism require certain substances. One of those substances is WATER, which the plant gets by absorption via the root hairs. The water circulates throughout the plant with the aid of a water-conducting vascular tissue called XYLEM. Without the xylem, water will not be transported throughout the plant.

The xylem tissue helps provide structural support to the plant as it helps the plant cell to be turgid. A non-functional xylem means the conduction of water is impossible, hence causing the plant cells to become flaccid and lose strength; a process called wiltering.
