Answer 2

D - Topmost crown of green leaves on tall trees.

Explanation:

• In forest ecology, the canopy refers to the upper layer or habitat zone formed by mature tree crowns and containing other biological organisms.
• The term canopy is sometimes used to refer to the extent of an individual tree's or group of trees' outer layer of leaves.
• Shade trees typically have a dense canopy that prevents light from reaching lower-growing plants.
• The canopy towers over the understory layer. The canopy is home to 90% of the animals in the rainforest.
• Because of the abundance of light, canopy trees can photosynthesize relatively quickly, accounting for the majority of primary productivity in forests.
• The canopy layer protects against strong winds and storms while also intercepting sunlight and precipitation, resulting in a sparsely vegetated understory layer.
