Is "is" the main verb "it is most apparent in the surfaces presented to you"? It=subject, apparent=adjective modifying "it" , " in the surfaces"= prepositional phrase modifying adverbially " apparent", "to you" = prepositional phrase modify presented, to play on= infinitive modifying "you".
I know there multiple questions but I really want to write long and complex sentences for my IELTS.

Yes.

It=subject
Yes.

apparent=adjective modifying "it"
Yes, it describes "it". (I'm not sure whether "modifying" is the best word here, since they are separated by the linking verb.)
