As all the cloned individuals are identical they have exactly the same strengths and weaknesses. If the environment changes rapidly in a way that makes it harder for them to survive then most or even all individuals may be eliminated before any evolved better ways to survive in the changed environment.
In species that have other means of reproduction available their populations have greater diversity in strength and weaknesses, so there is a greater chance that some individuals will already be able to better survive in the newly changed environment. Those individuals will pass on their traits to the next generation.
