In a rainforest, the vegetation that grows under the shade of a canopy is known as
-
- Crown
- Canopy
- Understorey
- Forest floor
Correct Option: C
In ecology, understorey refers to a layer of vegetation beneath the main canopy of a forest. It comprises plant life growing beneath the forest canopy without penetrating it to any great extent, but above the forest floor. Only a small percentage of light penetrates the canopy so understory vegetation is generally shade tolerant.
