canopy
Leafy forest ceiling
A canopy is a covering suspended overhead.
The term applies to fabric stretched above a bed, throne, or outdoor area for shade or ceremony, to the transparent enclosure over an aircraft cockpit, and to the uppermost layer of a forest where treetops form a continuous cover: Monkeys swung through the canopy.
By extension, anything that spreads overhead like a roof: a canopy of stars.
