What’s the name of the second-highest layer of the rainforest, where most of the animals live?
A Canopy
B Emergent
C Understory
The overlapping branches and leaves of rainforest trees make up the canopy, which can reach heights of over 100 feet. Most rainforests are made up of four layers—the canopy, the emergent layer above it, the darker and more humid understory beneath it, and the forest floor.
The correct answer is Canopy.
