A tree that grows above the canopy
Actually the trees in the emergent layer can grow up to 125 ft which is 38m
In the emergent layer of the rainforest, you can find tall trees such as kapok trees, emergent palms, and the giant ceiba tree. These trees have adapted to the intense sunlight and provide habitat for animals like birds and insects.
Emergent
The trees in the emergent layers can range from heights 35 to 50 meters.

full of trees and foggy
They live in what is called the understory , the elevated but shaded sections of the trees. The two higher levels are the canopy and emergent level (high trees). Some leaf-eating monkeys, such as the colobus, live in the emergent trees.
Emergent trees are the very tallest trees in the rainforest. They are the ones "emerging" from the canopy, and can be as tall as 60 metres or more, towering over the canopy of the rainforest. Mostly birds and insects live there.
the emergant layer shields all the trees from the sun
Kapok trees are typically found in the emergent layer of tropical rainforests rather than the understory layer. They are one of the tallest trees in the rainforest and have a distinctive cone-shaped crown that rises above the canopy. However, some smaller saplings or younger kapok trees may be found in the understory layer as they grow towards the canopy.
No. They live in the canopy or lower canopy. One species that does live in the higher emergent trees is the colobos monkey.
Probably, right around 3 feet tall.
