Accepted Answer

Forests are large areas on the land that comprises the flora and fauna of that habitat. The flora includes a variety of herbs, shrubs, trees, climbers, and creepers. The fauna includes a variety of wild animals and microorganisms.

The plants of forests perform photosynthesis, therefore providing food for animals.

The understorey is the layer between the canopy and the forest floor. It consists of shrubs and tall grasses. The trees of this layer have large leaves to receive a maximum amount of sunlight. A few reptiles, small mammals, tree frogs, and insects live in this layer.

Birds build nests on trees, therefore providing shelter to animals.

The layer beyond the canopy is the emergent layer. The trees of this layer receive a maximum amount of sunlight. The leaves of these trees are small and have a waxy covering to prevent them from sunlight and prevent the loss of water through the surfaces.

Trees absorb carbon dioxide in the process of photosynthesis, therefore reducing air pollution.

Trees release oxygen in the process of photosynthesis that is inhaled by animals for respiration.

Numerous plants release a large amount of water in the form of water vapour into the atmosphere through transpiration. The water vapour condensed and forms clouds that bring rain to the earth. Therefore, providing water to animals.
