Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The top layer of the rainforest is the emergent layer. Here, trees as tall as 60 meters (200 feet) dominate the skyline. Foliage is often sparse on tree trunks, but spreads wide as the trees reach the sunny upper layer, where they photosynthesize the sun’s rays.

Detailed explanation-2: -The emergent layer of the rainforest is the topmost layer of a rainforest. This layer receives the most sunlight and lots of rain, it is also very windy, so hold onto your hats! The emergent layer is home to some huge trees, some are even as tall as 250 feet!

Detailed explanation-3: -The canopy is the top layer that covers most of the forest. The middle level is called the understory, and the bottom level is called the forest floor. Each layer is home to many different animals.

Detailed explanation-4: -The highest layer of the rainforest is the EMERGENT LAYER. This layer is made of the very tallest treetops. It is bright and sunny, with lots of space.

Detailed explanation-5: -Emergent Layer Emergents are the tallest trees, growing 50 to 65 metres in height. There are only 1 or 2 emergent tress in every acre of forest. Between rainstorms, the climate here is often dry because of the bright sun and strong winds.
