Question

What is the canopy?
A. Uppermost level of the forest
B. Ground level of the forest
C. Soil in forest
D. Climbers on trees

Answer 1

Hint: Plants that grow in abundance and forms a community, the crown of the plants together converges and form a canopy

Complete answer:The canopy is formed by the tall trees which form clusters; it is the uppermost level of the forest; the canopies are not formed by the shrubs or short plants. They are above the ground plant community and are formed with the collection of the crown of each plant. Canopies are formed by the crowns of the mature trees.
The canopy layer is the uppermost layer as it is dense which stops the very heavy rains, then is the Understory layer which has dense vegetation and does not get enough sunlight, then is the forest floor which is dark, damp, and is covered with the dead leaves and dead plants.

Hence, the correct option is ‘A’

Additional information: Canopy state is the organization or spatial arrangement (three-dimensional geometry) of a plant canopy. Leaf area index (LAI), leaf area per unit ground area, is a key way used to understand and compare plant canopies.
It is also taller than the understory membrane.
The canopy holds 90% of the animals in the rainforest.
They cover vast distances and appear to be unbroken when keenly observed from an airplane. However, despite overlapping tree branches, rainforest canopy trees rarely touch each other. Rather, they are usually differentiated by a few feet.

Note: Canopy in the forest protects from the storms and very heavy rains due to its thick foliage, their floral and fauna are not found in the layers of the forest.
They have a very condensed layer and absorb the light which is penetrated by the emergent layer of plants.
