Question

Which word is used for the trees that shed their leaves at the end of each growing season?

• A. Deciduous
• B. Evergreen
• C. Conifer
• D. Woody

Answer 1

The correct option is A Deciduous

Deciduous trees lose their leaves at the end of their growing season.
This occurs in the fall in temperate deciduous forests, and in the dry season in tropical and subtropical deciduous forests.
The word deciduous is from the Latin word decidere, meaning “to fall off.”
