Plants we don’t have in Kentucky.
• Air plants.-Since the food at ground level was
being fought for, the air plants grow on canopy trees. They don’t need soil to grow.
• Liana-A vine that twines the tall trees
and reaches top height. There, it receives sunlight and protection.

Soil system• The rainforest has a shallow
root system. This is because the nutrients are accumulated on the forest floor and immediately below the soil layer.
![Page 8: Tropical Rain Forest By: Jada Gray, Cassie Mattingly, Austin Beck, and Sierra Lake](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649cac5503460f9496d44e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Layers of the rainforest.
1. Emergents- giant trees that are taller than canopy trees. (birds and insects live there)
2. Canopy- upper parts of trees. (homes for mammals, reptiles, and birds)
3. Under canopy- dark, cool environment under the leaves but over the ground.

Layers (cont..)
4. Forest floor- teeming with animal life, especially insects. The largest animals in the rainforest live here.

Poison dart frog. - Can be yellow, gold, copper,
red, green, blue, or black.- Carry their eggs and tadpoles
on their backs.- They’re about 2 inches long.- They have enough venom to
kill 10 men.- Some people use their venom
for hunting.

Interesting facts• Tropical rainforests are located around the
equator where temperatures stay near 80 degrees year round.
•The largest rainforests are
located in South America, Africa, and east Asia.
