Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
A plant community grown naturally without human intervention for an extended period without being disturbed by humans is called natural vegetation. It is also called virgin vegetation. Indigenous or endemic species belong to virgin vegetation and are local to India, while exotic plants have come from foreign countries. Plants from a specific area or time are called flora. Animal species are called fauna. Due to the abundance of plant and animal species in virgin vegetation, these regions are biodiversity hotspots. The best examples are the Nilgiris and the Gulf of Mannar in Tam.
