They are found in the amazon rainforest
No, the kapok is in the Emergent layer
emergent
The Kapok produces sap just like any other tree; it's how all trees get nutritients to their branches and leaves. In the case of the Kapok it's not like you make a cut and you can harvest the sap like a gum tree. You have to rip off the bark and boil it. The resulting produce from the Kapok is used in medicines to treat headaches, diabetes and impotence. The most common harvest is that of the kapok seeds, used in mattresses, pillows, floating devices and stuffing for teddy bears.
The bushes and small trees make up the understory of the forest
tropical rain forest
There are usually 4 layers of the rainforest: TOP ----- BOTTOM the emergent layer the canopy layer the under story forest floor
Kapok is in the Baobab family, like Limon is in the Citrus family
the emergant layer are very tall trees that peak out from the top of the canopy
They live on the forest floor, in the understory layer.
Emergent layer where trees poke higher, canopy layer thick shelter made by trees overlapping, understory layer where the trunks and ferns etc are and the floor where more plants, ferns, baby trees and leaves are, the leaves get so thick that they become a carpet.
You can feel hot and damp in the understory layer because the understory layer is the thrid layer to the emergent layer and the heat from the emergent layer can travel down. it is also damp because it is very Ronny in the rainforest so the rain can drip from trees.
the layers (going down) are the emergent layer, then the canopy layer, the understory layer the the forest floor. The emergent layer - the emergents are the tallest trees so they can get sunlight. The canopy layer - the canopy is the thickest layer of the rainforest. Understory/Undercanopy - This layer has young trees, short trees and bushes. Forest floor/Shrub layer - There are few plants in this layer that have adapted to low-light.
Leopard’s live in the understory layer because they want to
the understory is found between the canopy and forest floor. Bushes, large green plants and small trees make up this layer.Lizards,bats,frogs and butteflys arew a few of the animals that live in this layer
Kapok Trees, Brazil Nut tree, Hardwood evergreens, orchids
Bats live in the understory layer of the rainforest. The understory is below the canopy and it's much easier for bats to fly in this layer.
It is a top layer of the rainforest,Emergent,Canopy,understory,And forest floor.(also known as the tallest trees in the rainforest.)
Because in the understory layer tree frogs get maximum humidity and insects as food.
