Plant Life

There are many types of plants in the rainforest. Fungi, ferns, shrubs, and moss are only some of the native plants that live here in the rainforest. There are many challenges the plants have to face like being eaten by animals, having no nutrients in the soil, having no water, being stepped on, or picked. There is a tree called a Kapok. It's a glossy green and looks like an umbrella to me. One of the flowers in the rainforest has an outer netting to protect itself from it's predators that want to eat it. Here are some interesting facts about the rainforest plants. The rainforest's trees sprout new leaves every year. The rainforest is covered almost entirely with plants and trees. Many medical plants live in the rainforest. 100's of national parks have been established in the rainforest.
