What is the difference between a forest canopy and a forest floor?

The forest floor is the ground and the fallen, usually decaying, parts of the trees that lie on it. The canopy is the collection of foliage that forms the top of the trees. This foliage is close together and touching so it blocks/catches most of the sunlight, not allowing it to reach the forest floor.

How is the forest floor different from the canopy?
The difference between a canopy and rainforest floor would be a canopy covers over the rest of the forest which allows a little bit of sun light like the rain forest floor because it only gets 2 percent of the sun's light umm... what else oh yeah!! trees are covered with small plants and appear to be tied togther with hundreds of vines and also rain forest floor has very little plant life and the area is covered with fallen leaves, seeds, dead flowers, and fruits and branches that decompose really quickly.
