During the daylight hours it is not pitch black on the rainforest floor. While you may not be able to see the sun directly, enough light is scattered and reflected from other objects that light is readily available on the forest floor. as a result, plants do not need to find light, it is there for them.
Of course, some plants prefer brighter light and they grow tall to reach above their neighbors to where the sun is less obscured.
