"Against All Odds: Earth's Fragile Pioneers"
Paragraph 5: Partnered with the wind, surface currents waltz around the world's oceans, carrying with them all sorts of debris. Few seafaring seeds have what it takes to survive the long, meandering journey to Hawaii. . One plant whose seeds meet these requirements is the Hala—one of the world's oldest known flowering plants, dating back 250 million years. How do its seeds survive the salty ocean? They are snuggled in a blanket of spongy material, which can float in the sea for months or even years. A species of Hawaiian crickets rafted in on pieces of floating wood. They had to struggle to survive on harsh Hawaii, feeding on organic debris tossed to shore by wind and wave. They soon adapted, however, giving rise to an endemic species—one found nowhere else on Earth.
Question: Paragraph 5 states that Hala seeds “can float in the sea for months or even years.” Explain how this detail supports the central idea of the article. Cite at least one detail from the text to support your response.
