superlayer
Layer above another
A superlayer is a layer positioned above or encompassing other layers, used primarily in technical contexts.
In computing and design, it refers to an interface element that overlays underlying content: The notification superlayer appears above all other windows.
In materials science and geology, it describes a stratum lying atop others or a composite of multiple sublayers functioning as a unit.
