Note that since little or no light penetrates the canopy, the plants adapt by having strong, woody stems and larger leaves

Rainforest formation

Undergrowth-Made up of generally shrubs and bushes

Middle layer-Consists of smaller trees

Top layer(canopy)-Made up of the highest trees in the rainforest
