How does the under canopy layer adapt in the rain forest?

For the few plants that exist in the rainforest, they have to spread out and have big, broad leaves to capture the small amount of sunlight that actually reaches the forest floor. In general, there aren't many plants that grow on the forest floor of the tropical rainforest because of the lack on sunlight and due to the fact that most trees and other vegetation grow tall creating a thick canopy. The only time plants and small vegetation might grow on the forest floor is when a taller tree falls down creating a hole in the forest canopy. Sunlight is then able to reach the forest floor and some plants can establish themselves and start growing.
