Explanation:

Answer:

The word "stunted" in the sentence means (of a plant, animal, or person) prevented from growing or developing properly. In the context of "stunted trees", it means the trees have been prevented from growing to their normal size or height, likely due to environmental factors (like poor soil, limited water, or harsh conditions) that restricted their growth.
