Endemic species are indigenous, that is they are native to the environment where they are found.

Exotic species are those that have been introduced.

For instance, the nutria are endemic to regions of South America, but exotic to the Florida Everglades where they were introduced after being set free by fur farmers who found they could not make a living raising them.

What is the difference between an exotic species and an invasive exotic species?

When we say that a species is indigenousto a place, we mean simply that it occurs there naturally. It is a native. But a species can be indigenous to a number of places at once.In contrast, if we say a species is endemic to a place, we mean that it occurs naturally only in that place. It is a native to an exclusive or limited area. It is not widely distributed, and won't be found naturally anywhere else.This means that an indigenous plant grows in nearly all the continents while endemic means in a pacific country.
