When we say that a species is indigenousto a place, we mean simply that it occurs there naturally. It is a native. But a species can be indigenous to a number of places at once.
In contrast, if we say a species is endemic to a place, we mean that it occurs naturally only in that place. It is a native to an exclusive or limited area. It is not widely distributed, and won't be found naturally anywhere else.
This means that an indigenous plant grows in nearly all the continents while endemic means in a pacific country.
An exotic plant is a plant which exists within an exotic ecosystem (tropical region) and an invasive plant is one which takes nutrients and soil space away from other plants in order to establish it's self and take over the area. Sometimes, when exotic plants are in a non-exotic region, they can act as an invasive species and throw off the ecology of the indigenous species in the ecosystem. An example of an invasive plant would be Kudzu, a native plant to Southeast Asia, which acts as an invasive species in the US.
Indigenous plants are plants that are native to a region or a country, while exotic plants are those that have been introduced into the country/ region in recent time by people colonising or moving through the region. Endemic plants are indigenous plants that are particular to a very specific region within a country or biome.
There is a slight problem with regards to the definition; this is where does one draw the line between with respect to "when" a plant was introduced. By all accounts one accepts that up till about 20,000 years ago humans had not started extensively migrating or exploring the "known world" due to the lack of intercontinental transport. From about 5,000 BC onwards there were more "civilized" human settlements, people began moving around more freely for various reasons (searching for raw materials, trade, war and conquest). During this time farming and the cultivation of plants had become more evolved and refined; people started to see the use in carrying seed and plants with them when they moved.
Through the middle ages and into the late 19th century (with more organised "voyages of exploration") European explorers moved around the world collecting and moving plants and animals (returning them to Europe in most cases) - this time was probably the main time when species were moved en mass between continents - and also the time when some of the biggest mistakes were made with regards to introducing exotic species as people had little understanding of the long-term effects of introducing exotic species into new environments (e.g. the introduction of rabbits and camels into Australia), introduction of wattle and other acacia plant species into South Africa, the introduction of rats and cats onto St. Helena Island.
An endemic species should be found in a certain environment and an exotic species should not be found there. For example, robins should be found near Chicago but a person should never find a tiger in a back yard in Chicago.
exotic species
Kudzu, Bamboo, and the Mimossa Tree are all considered invasive species in North America.
Exotic species compete with the native species and reduces Biodiversity
Probably the same thing it was called before It is usually called an "introduced species" or an "invasive species".

A native species originated from that area while an exotic species came from somewhere else.

New species are introduced into areas to either get rid of another animal e.g. the cane toad came to Australia to get rid of some kind of bug or and animal is accidentally taken to another country.
I have no answer for this
Exotic Species.
the difference is when you get constapated exotic birds are at your window. when your wife gets pregnant backyard birds are at your window.
An alien species is a species that is not native to an area. An exotic species is native to an area but not common.
Exotic species are animals that are not native to the area. Lions and giraffes are exotic animals in Ohio but not in Africa.
