There are 4 layers of the Tropical Rain
forest. #1The emergent layer-The tallest
trees are the emergents , towering as much
as 200 feet above the forest floor with
trunks that measure up to 16 feet around.
#2The canopy layer-This is the primary
layer of the forest and forms a roof over
the 2 remaining layers. #3Understory layer-
little sunshine reaches this area so the plants
have to grow larger leaves to reach the
sunlight. #4Forest floor-Its very dark down
here . Almost no plants grow in this area .
