Explanation:

The word that means the same as "the inside top covering of a room" is ceiling. So the answer is > (☀) Ceiling.

  • Roof is the uppermost covering of a building or other structure.
  • Wall is a vertical structure that forms the sides of a room or other building.
  • Mezzanine is a low storey between two others in a building, typically between the ground and first floors.

A ceiling is the inside top surface of a room. It is not generally considered a structural element, but a finished surface concealing the underside of the roof structure or the floor of a story above. Ceilings can be decorated to taste, and there are many fine examples of frescoes and artwork on ceilings especially in religious buildings. A ceiling can also be the upper limit of a tunnel.
