What grows on the rainforest floor
Moss on Rainforest floor
Little plants grow in on the forest floor, as there is little sunlight. Therefore only plants that don't need much sunlight such as moss, herbs or fungi grow here.
A few adaptations these plants may have to the forest floor are:
Able to live in little sunlight
Able to live in wet environment
