Question

What are some adaptations plants have evolved to survive in the tropical rainforest?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The following adaptations allow plants to survive in the conditions of the rainforest:  

Lianas - these are woody vines that have roots in the ground but climb up the trees to reach the sunlight. Their leaves and flowers grow in the canopy.

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.

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.
