Detailed explanation-2: -The canopy layer is the second layer of the rainforest, so canopy layer plants absorb the light that penetrates through from the top layer, which is known as the emergent layer.

Detailed explanation-3: -These layers are called forest storeys or strata. The top-most stratum is made of emergent trees; below them are the canopy trees, which are usually present as a continuous layer. The tree strata below them are called the sub-canopy and the understorey.

Detailed explanation-4: -Canopy is the above-ground portion of vegetation in forests consisting of the tops of trees forming a kind of ceiling.
