What grows in a tropical rainforest?

Answer 1

Typically, the plants that grow best in a tropical rainforest are the ones that thrive on dampness, lots of water and very little light (except for those which grow upwards toward the light). Such plants include the broad families of ferns, orchids, moss, fungi and lichen. For more detail on specific plants, have a look at the Rainforest Plant Database found at: http://www.rain-tree.com/plants.htm

Answer 2

Tropical rainforests are known for their high biodiversity and abundance of plant life. Some common plants that grow in tropical rainforests include orchids, bromeliads, ferns, and various species of trees such as mahogany, rubber trees, and palm trees. These forests also support a wide variety of fruit-bearing trees like bananas, papayas, and mangoes.
