What is co-extinction? Explain with a suitable example?

Answers (1)

When a species becomes extinct, then plants and animals, which were obliquely dependent on it, also become extinct in due course of time. This phenomenon is called coextinction. If a fish becomes extinct, then many parasites, which got sustenance from the fish, become extinct. Many predators for which this fish was the main source of food would also become extinct.
