Answer:

Emergent

Explanation:

Rainforests are divided into distinct strata and vary from forest to forest:

• Emergent: The so-called emergent layer, or "sky," encompasses the crowns of spaced trees and their branches. In this stratum are the emerging trees over 40 m high that surpass the forest canopy.

• Canopy: Also called "canopy" is formed by trees of short spacing and high density.

• Undergrowth: Shrubs are characteristic of the "shrub layer", with smaller trees 5 to 20 meters above the ground.

• Herbaceous: In the "soil layer" is the smallest vegetation, as well as fallen trunks and fungi. It is characteristic for being a dark and humid place, where the process of decomposition of organic matter occurs.
