What is the term for the tallest layer of the rainforest, consisting of giant trees that tower above the forest canopy?
Tap your pick
The emergent layer is made of giant trees, some reaching up to 200 feet (60 meters) tall, that push through the forest canopy to bathe in direct sunlight. These hardy trees must withstand intense heat, strong winds, and dry conditions compared to the sheltered layers below. Eagles, bats, and monkeys frequently use these high outposts to spot food and predators.
