Which of following forest plants control the light conditions at ground? |
Shrubs Tall Trees Herbs Lianas and climbers |
Tall Trees |
The correct answer is Option (2) – Tall Trees Since plants produce food through photosynthesis, a process which is only possible when sunlight is available as a source of energy, we can quickly understand the importance of light for living organisms, particularly autotrophs. Many species of small plants (herbs and shrubs) growing in forests are adapted to photosynthesise optimally under very low light conditions because they are constantly overshadowed by tall, canopied trees. |
