A high rate of reproduction is beneficial to a species primarily because **it ensures that at least a few individuals will survive to pass on their traits.** This increased offspring production can help counteract high mortality rates and increase the chances that some individuals will survive and reproduce, thereby contributing to the continuation of the species.
