Only about 2-5 percent. Because the huge broad-leaf canopies absorb most of the light. As a result the vegetation on the floor of tropical rain forests tends to be vegetation adapted to low levels of light (bromeliads, dotter vines, fungi, lichens).

Why does little sunlight reach the ground in a tropical rain forest?

Little sunlight reaches the ground in a tropical rainforest due to the dense canopy layer formed by the overlapping branches and leaves of tall trees. This canopy layer blocks much of the sunlight from penetrating through to the forest floor. Additionally, the high levels of humidity and moisture in a tropical rainforest can also scatter and absorb sunlight, further reducing the amount that reaches the ground. As a result, the lower levels of the rainforest receive minimal sunlight, leading to dimmer conditions compared to the upper canopy levels.
