Answer 2

Answer:

The word can be Undergrowth or Underwood. The other words that can be used informally are Bushes or Woodland.

Explanation:

In dense tropical forests, there are only some trees that reach the maximum height to get most of the sunlight. But, most of the small plants and small trees do not grow very tall to compete with the taller trees. So, they grow under it in whatever space is present to them.

That's why there is a dense network of small bushes and plants growing under these tall trees and they are collectively referred to as Undergrowth or Underwood. Sometimes, they are also simply called bushes because of the abundance of bushes it these areas.
