Only at the tops. There are different levels of foliage. Most plants have adapted to live with little or no sunlight in the rain forest.

∙ 14y agosome plants are able to get sunlight by ex. vines would grow up the tree to get the sunlight needs
Wiki User

What are three differences between a tropical forest and a tundra that might make a plant's mineral needs different in each climate?
Answer 1: Little minerals are in the tundra because most of the ground in the tundra is made of ice and snow. Answer 2: the tundra get very little sun light, while the tropical forest gets lots of sun light. Answer 3: It rains alot in a tropical forest, but it is not likely to rain in a tundra at all. Hope this info helps you! Later.
Why is there very little light on the forest floor?
Because the trees block the sunlight with their branches and leaves.
What are the similarities of the forest floor and the canopy in a rainforest?
They both have living mammals, birds, and insects.
What are three differences between a tropical forest and a tundra?
1. Tropical forests are near the equator/Tundras are near the poles 2. Tropical forests are hot/Tundras are very cold 3. Tropical forests receive lots of rain/Tundras are dry 4. Tropical forests contains species of animals/Tundras are almost lifeless
Where is the least amount of air movement in tropical rainforests?
The least amount of air movement in tropical rainforests is found in the understory which is also known as the lower canopy. Not only is the air still in the understory, but it also hot and humid. Also, there is very little sunlight.
How do some plants survive in a crowded forest their is very little sunlight?
Plants in deep forest can survive where there is little sunlight because there is a substance and water under the soil.
Why do rain forest lack vegetation?
vegetation in tropical rain forests is dominated by tall trees, and little undergrowth because the tall trees block the sunlight and rain from reaching the forest floor, causing growth of other, lower vegetation to be prohibited.
How is the tundra different from the tropical forest?
You could say that they're almost completely opposite. Tundra is located on earth's poles, which receive little sunlight making it extremely cold. Little vegetation can become established because of the permafrost that prevents root systems, as well as the winds that clear miles of open land. In contrast, tropical rainforests receive direct and constant sunlight, which evaporates large amounts of water into the atmosphere only to drop back down again. Though rainforests only occupy 3% of the earth, it contains over half of the worlds species - the most diverse biome in the world.

A biome that has a hot-to-moderate temperatures and very little rainfall is the tropical rain forest biome?
A tropical rainforest
How much light does the tropical rainforest get?
the canopy recieves very little sunlight
What are three differences between a tropical forest and a tundra that might make a plants need for minerals different in each climate?
i know that a tundra gets very little sunlight light while a tropical forest gets a whole bunch of light. I don't know its just i was trying to look it up for my science but i got a answer it from wikianswers so i answered
Are tropical rain forest trees wide apart?
No, they are so close together that little light reaches the forest floor.
Why a lichen would not survive in a rain-forest?
it does survive and adapts to very little sunlight
Why is there very little light on the forest floor?
Because the trees block the sunlight with their branches and leaves.
What are the five biomes?
