voyages of exploration resulted in the spread of plants and animals true or false
True. The voyages of exploration, particularly during the Age of Discovery (15th to 17th centuries), led to what is known as the Columbian Exchange. This was a widespread transfer of plants, animals, culture, human populations, technology, diseases, and ideas between the Americas, West Africa, and the Old World (Eurasia and Africa) in the late 15th and following centuries.
As European explorers traveled to new lands, they took with them plants and animals from their native countries and brought back exotic species that they found. For example, horses, pigs, and cattle were introduced to the Americas by Europeans, while crops like maize (corn), tomatoes, potatoes, and cocoa were carried back to Europe and subsequently spread to other parts of the world. The exchange had significant ecological, agricultural, and cultural impacts on both sides of the Atlantic.
