Detailed explanation-1: -In forests, the uppermost layer is formed by trees. The second layer or the mid-layer is formed by shrubs. The lowest layer is formed by herbs. Emergent layer is formed by tall trees.

Detailed explanation-2: -In forestry and ecology, understory (American English), or understorey (Commonwealth English), also known as underbrush or undergrowth, includes plant life growing beneath the forest canopy without penetrating it to any great extent, but above the forest floor.

Detailed explanation-3: -The forest understory is the layer of vegetation consisting of small trees, shrubs growing between the forest canopy and forest floor. The forest understory is typically a sheltered layer that is warm and damp. Dominated by saplings, shrubs, and vines if patches of light allow small trees to grow.

Detailed explanation-4: -Most rainforests (except evergreen forests in Europe and North America) are structured in four distinct layers: emergent, canopy, understory, and forest floor. Each layer has unique characteristics based on how much water, sunlight and air circulation it experiences.
