Secondary succession is the series of changes that occur after a disturbance (like a forest fire or hurricane) in an ecosystem.

Do not confuse this with primary succession, which is a gradual growth of an ecosystem over a long period of time after a disturbance, such as a volcano that erupted.

The difference is that secondary succession occurs when some vegetation and soil remaining after the disturbance, whereas primary succession occurs when very little or no vegetation or soil is present.

Why did the Ediacara fauna thrive during the Cambrian Period even though they were immobile?

They didn't thrive in the Cambrian, they are very rare and not necessarily the same biologically as the forms in the Precambrian. Soft bodied preservation in the Ediacaran style occurs throughout the Phanerozoic, but becomes increasingly rare after the Cambrian- perhaps due to disturbance of bedding surfaces by metazoans, but there are many other possibilities.
