Detailed explanation-1: -Most rainforests are structured in four layers: emergent, canopy, understory, and forest floor.

Detailed explanation-2: -The tropical rainforest is a hot, moist biome where it rains all year long. It is known for its dense canopies of vegetation that form three different layers. The top layer or canopy contains giant trees that grow to heights of 75 m (about 250 ft) or more.

Detailed explanation-3: -The canopy is the dense ceiling of closely spaced trees and their branches, while the understory is the term for more widely spaced, smaller tree species and juvenile individuals that form a broken layer below the canopy.

Detailed explanation-4: -A Tropical Rainforest is a hot, humid, and flourishing dense forest, usually found around the equator.

Detailed explanation-5: -Several meters below the bottom of the canopy is the understory, a layer made up of young trees, short species of trees, shrubs, and soft-stemmed plants. The understory varies a lot from rainforest to rainforest. But everywhere it is darker, there is less wind, and it is more humid than the canopy above it.
