Introduction
The rainforests of the world are
important to us. In the world
rainforests are located in
Southern Asia, South America,
Africa, Central America and the
Pacific Islands. That’s were
rainforest are located. Rainforest
are also near the equator. There’s
heat and a lot of rain in the
rainforest. There are four layers
in the rainforest. There are many
plants and animals in the
rainforest. That’s why rainforests
are important to us.
The Forest Floor and Understory
The forest floor and
understory are the two
lowest layers of the
rainforest. The forest floor is
very wet and dark but also it
has large animals. Also the
forest floor has plants and it
is the lowest of the layers.
The understory is the second
layer and there is a little
more light. There are small
animals, butterflies, and
snakes and more.
The Canopy and Emergent Layers
The Canopy and
Emergent layer are
the top layers. The
Canopy is one of the
top layers also
there is a lot of
insects and animals
there. There is
plant life too. The
Emergent layer is
home to many
plants and animals.
