Solution

The correct option is E Both B and C
There is vertical stratification in any ecological community.
An ecosystem can be subdivided into the layers of its vegetation. Stratification is determined by the sizes and kinds of plants present.
A forest community typically includes a canopy, an understory layer, shrubs, a herb/ground layer, and the forest floor, including roots and soil.
The tropical rain forest is considered to have five strata - (a) Emergent trees (30-40 m): mostly conifers. (b) Canopy trees (20-25 m). (c) Sub-canopy trees (10-15 m). (d) Shrubs and small trees (3-8 m). (e) Ground plants (0-1 m): mostly ferns, but some flowering plants may be present. Temperate deciduous forests are also vertically stratified, separated into four distinct vegetation layers from canopy to forest floor. Thus, the correct answer is option E.
