A hurricane destroyed all life forms on an island and washed away all the soil, leaving bare rock. In time, lichens grow in cracks in the rocks. What is occurring?

Primary succession is beginning.

Primary succession is when a disaster destroys the environment, leaving no soil and no organisms left. This is evident by the bare rock. Lichens are a pioneer species, meaning they are one of the first organisms that show up.

answer: angiosperms

dicots

angiosperms are highly evolved plants, they produce seeds which are enclosed within in a carple. these are the largest group of plants on earth. they include trees, shrubs, herbs and small flowering plants. angiosperms exhibit a flowering stage in their life cycle. the flower serves the function of reproduction and fruit formation in majority of angiosperms. dicot is the term used to describe flowering plants that have two seed leaves. dicots are plants which develop seeds which split into two parts called cotyledons. each cotyledon contains one embryo.

here, a small purple flower development indicates that the plant belongs to angiosperms and having two embryonic leaves indicates it belongs to dicots.
