Definition: An organism that is exotic to an environment.
Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a look and see, At the word “exotic,” it’s quite tricky, you agree? The dictionary tells us, with a helpful plea, “An organism that's exotic to an environment – can you tell me what it means for you ?” Let’s break it down, nice and slow, It’s about where something doesn’t grow. "Exotic" means something is new , quite a surprise, Introduced to a place, before its eyes! Think of a parrot from a jungle far away, Or a flower blooming in a different day. It's not native there, it hasn’t been around, A visitor strange, on unfamiliar ground. So, "exotic" describes something outside the norm , A little bit unusual, safe from any storm! Does that make sense? Any questions you might pose?
