Quizplus · Accepted Answer

R species are small and short-lived plants that rapidly colonize disturbed sites. They are also known as ruderals and have a fast growth rate and high reproductive capacity. Grime's classification divides plants into three main categories: C species (competitive), S species (stress-tolerant), and R species (ruderals). X species are not included in this classification.
