Canopy layer refers to the part of the trees on top that form a canopy (a kind of a roof). This is only possible with old-growth forests.
The canopy of a forest is the layer formed by the crown of mature trees. Seen from above, it looks like a lumpy carpet of green. Many organisms live in the canopy, but in terms of species it is the domain of insects (and of course uncounted bacteria and viruses) that make their homes in the leaves, buds, flowers, fruit, seeds and stems of the trees. They also live on epiphytes, which are plants that use the trees as a substrate and sometimes a source of food. Other animals including birds and mammals also live there. A wide variety of fungi specialise in life in the canopy, as do some algae, ferns, mosses, and lichens.
