Correct Answer: Understorey


Solution : The correct option is Understorey.

The understorey is the layer of vegetation that develops beneath the thick canopy of higher trees in a rainforest habitat. Because of the canopy above, this layer gets filtered sunlight, resulting in a distinct microclimate with reduced light levels. To collect available light, understorey plants have evolved by having bigger leaves and thinner stems, and they frequently fight for limited resources. The rainforest's understory is critical to its total biodiversity, providing home for a wide range of plant, insect, bird, and animal species.
