Explanation:
Tropical moist deciduous forests are characterized by a combination of trees that shed their leaves during the dry season and trees that remain evergreen. These forests are found in regions with a pronounced dry season and receive a moderate amount of rainfall. Teak (Tectona grandis) is a prominent and commercially valuable tree species found in these forests, known for its high-quality timber.
