Please explain it, how the compressive stress developed in the bottom layer?

Top layer will be subjected to max compressive stress and bottom layer will be subjected to max tensile stress. Refer pg :- 293, Strength of materials by R.K.Bansal.

If the beam is cantilever then compressive stress developer at the bottom layer.

Shear stresses vary quadratically with the distance y1 from the neutral axis. The maximum shear stress occurs at the neutral axis and is zero at both the top and bottom surface of the beam.

Transverse means parallel to section.

Transverse load acts perpendicular to the axis of beam.

You are correct, Agree with you @Nikhil.

Max compression will be on top layer and this will decreases towards neutral layer and becomes zero at neutral layer, after that stress will be tensile and value increases and reaches max at bottom layer.

Load is applied transversely downward means top layer will undergo compressive stress and bottom layer under go tensile stress.

The loading condition in case of a leaf spring can said to be a transverse loading, and in this case the top layer will be under tension and bottom layer will be under compression.
