    Rain forests have five layers. Each layer has its own unique characteristics and supports a diverse range of plant and animal species. The layers include the emergent layer, canopy layer, understory layer, shrub layer, and forest floor. The emergent layer consists of the tallest trees that rise above the canopy. The canopy layer is made up of interconnected treetops that form a dense covering. The understory layer is characterized by smaller trees and plants that grow in the shade of the canopy. The shrub layer consists of low-lying plants and shrubs. Finally, the forest floor is the bottom layer, covered in decomposing leaves and rich in nutrients.

    Correct Answer
    A. How leaf litter is reused by the vegetation of the Rain Forest
    Explanation
    The Nutrient cycle shows the flow of nutrients from falling leaves, decomposing to humus, mixing with mineral matter to become soil then being taken up again by trees.
