The rainforest is a lush habitat. Trees grow tall in order to compete for sunlight. Kapok trees, for example, grow to over 200 feet and are found in tropical rainforests around the world.

In this way, the canopy forms a protective barrier that allows more sunlight to reach the lower trees. Moreover, these trees are also important to the balance of the forest's ecosystem.

The rainforest is a lush habitat. Trees grow tall in order to compete for sunlight. Kapok trees, for example, grow to over 200 feet and are found in tropical rainforests around the world. The tallest trees in the rainforest spread their branches to block sunlight from the smaller trees below. In this way, the canopy forms a protective barrier that allows more sunlight to reach the lower trees. Moreover, these trees are also important to the balance of the forest's ecosystem. The tropical rainforest is one of the oldest ecosystems on the planet. This is the reason why it contains nearly half of the world's plant species. Moreover, it is the most diverse ecosystem on Earth, with plants, animals, and insects. The animals in the rainforest are specially adapted to their environment. In fact, they have evolved to live in the trees. They have prehensile tails, which help them to hold onto the tree.
