2. A rainforest is a type of forest that is very hot and wet. They are thick jungles with very tall trees. Rainforests have more than half of the world's plants and animals.
3. Rainforests have 4 main layers. 1. FOREST FLOOR 2. UNDERSTORY LAYER 3. CANOPY LAYER 4. EMERGENT LAYER FOREST FLOOR: This is the bottom layer of the rainforest. It is very dark and not many plants grow there because the sun can't reach them. UNDERSTORY LAYER: This is the second layer of the rainforest. This layer hardly gets any sunlight. The plants need to grow bigger leaves so they can absorb more sunlight. More animals are found here. CANOPY LAYER: This is the third layer of the rainforest. The canopy layer provides a roof for the understory layer and the forest floor. It has lots of food for the animals and the trees have oval shaped leaves. EMERGENT LAYER: This is the tallest part of the rainforest. Most of the flying animals live here. There is lots of sunlight to help the trees grow tall and strong. The trees can get up to 200 feet tall.
