Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, small plants began to grow along the remaining soil because of the presence of seeds in the soil that sense suitable environmental condition and come out of the soil. The ashes of burn trees have huge amount of nutrients in the form of minerals that triggers the growth of small plants. After the destruction of forest, new plants grow on that land, this type of phenomenon is called ecological succession.
