The rainforest is divided into five layers: the emergents/overstory, the canopy, the understory, the shrub layer and the forest floor.
The emergents, as I learned to call them, or the overstory is the very highest part of the rainforest. It reaches about 150ft or 45m above the ground. They are tall trees which stick out of the top of the rainforest.
The canopy is where most of the trees are. It is 100-125ft or 30-37.5m above the ground. It is a thick, dense mass of trees.
The understory is simply slightly smaller or younger trees then the canopy which reach between about 50-75ft or 15-22.5m above the ground.
The shrub layer is the small trees and bushes near the ground, about 25ft or 7m above the ground. This is where many bugs and Spiders live.
And finally, the forest floor.
See the link below for a diagram and more information about the rainforest and the rainforest layers. It has however missed out the shrub layer.
