The rainforest is divided into four layers:

1) The emergents. This is the name for the few tallest trees which grow above the Canopy.

2) Canopy. This is the name for the highest trees under the emergents.

3) Under canopy. This is the name for the younger trees which aren´t as tall as the canopy, and grow just below.

4) Shrub Layer. This is the last layer where all the small plants and bushes grow. This layer gets the least sunlight.
