Question

The plants found in a particular area of a specific species are termed as _________ of the area.
A) Species
B) Flora
C) Forest
D) Fauna

Answer 1

Hint: The term endemism refers to the phenomenon in which a plant or animal species are present only in a particular area and are not found anywhere else on the planet. The word epidemic is opposite to endemic, a concept in which a plant or animal species is present all over the world.

Complete answer:
Option B Flora: Flora refers to all of the plant life that exists in a certain area or time, which is usually composed of naturally occurring native species. The plants found in a particular area of a species are termed as Flora of the area.
So, option B is correct.
Option A Species: The species, which ranks below a genus and is denoted by a Latin binomial, is the most significant global taxonomic unit. Species is a group of living beings formed of the same individuals capable of inbreeding or transferring genes.
Option A is not correct.
Option C Forest: A forest is defined as a region with a high population density of trees. There are many types of forests based on the kinds of trees that are dominantly present.
Option C is not correct.
Option D Fauna: Fauna refers to all the animal life that exists in a certain area or time, which is usually composed of naturally occurring native species.
Option D is not correct.

Hence, option B is the correct answer.

Note:
The term flora is derived from the Latin root ‘flos’ meaning flower. Flora can be classified as follows: native flora, horticultural flora and weed flora. Native flora refers to the plant species that are endemic to a particular area. Horticultural flora are plant species that are cultivated for agricultural purposes. Weed flora indicates the unwanted plant species that grow among the useful plants.
