Answer:

The secondary succession.

Explanation:

It one of the ecological successions of a plant life that take place on the primary or disturbed system as the succession occurs in the preexisting soils as here the preen of the rocky island and the sandy beach is considered to be the primary succession where the coconut is washed by the high tides along with the seaweed.

The secondary succession thus starts to form with the interaction of the and beach as the coconut will continue and grow in the sandy beach as it will get nutrient and moisture firm the soil and gradually develop into a large island of coconut palm trees and thus the rocky beach will get converted to a secondary living community.
