Q.

In a rainforest, the vegetation that grows under the shade of a canopy is known as -

A. Crown
B. Canopy
C. Understorey
D. Forest floor
Answer» C. Understorey
Explanation: 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.
