Answer
Strata
Reason — Cumulus clouds have a cauliflower-like appearance with a flat base and rounded, dome-shaped tops. They usually indicate fair weather, though when they grow into cumulonimbus clouds, they bring heavy rain and thunderstorms. Cirrus clouds are thin and feathery, while stratus clouds form uniform layers.
