Answer:

Definition: Tropical deciduous forests occur in regions with heavy rainfall for part of the year followed by a marked dry season. These forest formations are dense and lush during the wet summers, but become a dry landscape during the dry winters when most trees shed their leaves. Shedding their leaves allows trees to conserve water during dry periods. Bare trees open up the canopy layer, enabling sunlight to reach ground level and facilitate the growth of thick underbrush. Trees use underground water during the dry seasons. These dramatic changes in water availability have a great impact on the plants and animals living in this ecosystem.

Many trees in deciduous forests lose their leaves during the drought period, though trees on moister sites with access to groundwater tend to remain evergreen.

Explanation:

India is a tropical country, and hence most of its area under green is tropical deciduous forests. The term tropical here refers to the landmass lying in between the territories of Tropic of Capricorn and Tropic of Cancer and India is one of them.

Now the term deciduous refers to the physical phenomenon of the trees and shrubs of shedding off leaves seasonally, I.e. mostly in the autumn.
