How do plants in tropical rainforest adapt to its environment
Answers
Plants need sunlight to survive; the thick vegetation of the upper layers of the forest allows little sunlight to reach the rainforest floor. Rainforest plants must either adapt to living with little sunlight under the forest canopy or grow quickly and find ways of reaching the sunlight above the canopy.
Lianas - these are woody vines that have roots in the ground but climb up the trees to reach the sunlight. Tree trunks - these are tall and thin to allow trees to reach the sunlight. The bark on these trees is smooth to allow water to flow down to the roots easily.
Answer:
Drip tips - plants have leaves with pointy tips. This allows water to run off the leaves quickly without damaging or breaking them. Buttress roots - large roots have ridges which create a large surface area that help to support large trees.
