Bark is important for many reasons. The main reason is that they stop the trees from developing cancer. Bark is like a protective layer, but since cancer is harder to get in warmer regions, it isn't as likely for a tropical rainforest tree to develop it and that is the reason their bark isn't as thick.
Another reason is so they don't get a sunburn. You can probably figure that out with logical reasoning.
