[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

An invasive species is a non-native species that is introduced into a new environment where it has the potential to cause harm to the ecosystem, economy, or human health. Invasive species can outcompete native species for resources such as food and habitat, leading to a decline in the native population. They can also disrupt the balance of the ecosystem and cause significant ecological damage. Overall, invasive species can have detrimental effects on the population of native species and the overall health of the ecosystem.
