Question

What is Canopy?
A. Uppermost level of forest
B. Ground level of forest
C. Soil in forest
D. Climbers on tree

Answer 1

Hint: The forest is made up of numerous numbers of trees and when this forest land is viewed from a greater height than that of the forest, the ground level of the forest can not be seen due to the presence of tall trees.

Complete answer:
We all know that a forest consists of different species of the trees and amongst all the species, there are species of plants which can grow to taller heights. The word canopy resembles the top most surface of the forest but as we know that plants of forest grow on soil so the only surface of the forest.
If we see a group of tall trees growing all over the forest and all bearing the same height then these trees form a surface which is only visible if it Is looked upon from a taller height as that of the trees. This surface formed together by the branch and leaves of the trees is known as a canopy of the forest and it becomes the uppermost level of the forest.
Due to the formation of canopy over the forest, the smaller plants of the forest receive lower sunlight and also it protects the smaller plants from the heavy rainfall and hailstorms. The design of the houses is also influenced by the canopy of the forest.

Therefore, from the above made discussion it is clear that the correct answer is the option A, uppermost level of the forest.

Note:
The main trees which contribute to the formation of canopy are the pines and conifers, they grow to up to 100 feet in clusters and their branches get overlapped over the other trees’ branches leading to the formation of level and it is the canopy of the forest.
