Question

it can survive a fire

Answer 1

The eucalyptus tree.  Only the seeds survive a fire, but they grow faster than anything else in the forest.

The eucalyptus is chock full of flammable resins, and the bark and leaves are made to ignite easily.

So the tree deliberately burns down the forest and all its competition.
