Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -We call this “green blanket” the canopy. The canopy shields sunlight from reaching the forest floor and the understory, making both layers very shady.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Understory Layer. Located several meters below the canopy, the understory is an even darker, stiller, and more humid environment.
