Emergents

Answer 1

The strata of the rainforest that contains giant trees is called the 'Emergent Strata'.

Option: (c)

Explanation:

• Rainforests are divided into layers based on the height of the trees in the layer.

• The 'emergent layer' is made up of trees that are up to 270 feet tall. It is because of the nectar and other food available on such trees, many birds prefer residing on these trees.

• These trees are generally hardwood trees like Brazil Nut and Kapok.
