Explanation:

1. For "they were brought into the new ecosystem on purpose by people": Some non - native species are introduced intentionally (e.g., for agriculture, horticulture), so this can be true.
2. For "all non - native species are considered invasive": Not all non - native species are invasive. Invasive species are those that cause harm to the ecosystem, so this is false.
3. For "they can out compete the native species for food and space": Non - native species, especially invasive ones, can have competitive advantages over native species for resources like food and space, so this is true.
4. For "corn and potatoes are considered invasive non - native species": Corn and potatoes are cultivated and do not cause harm to ecosystems in the areas they are introduced for agriculture, so they are not invasive, this is false.
5. For "some non - native species arrived to new areas accidentally": For example, species can be transported in shipping containers or on the hulls of ships accidentally, so this is true.

Answer:

• they were brought into the new ecosystem on purpose by people
