The layers of a tropical rainforest are the emergent layer, canopy, understory, and forest floor. The emergent layer contains the tallest trees that reach above the canopy, the canopy is made up of densely packed trees that form a roof over the forest, the understory consists of smaller trees and plants underneath the canopy, and the forest floor is covered with decaying organic matter and plants that thrive in low light conditions.
The canopy refers to the upper layer of a forest formed by the dense collection of tree crowns. It provides shade and protection for the underlying layers of vegetation, as well as habitat for many species of plants and animals. Canopy cover can vary greatly depending on the types of trees present and their density.
Many parasitic plants which depend on their host plant for their sustenance;and also epiphytes, which do not take food from their host, but merely live there.In NZ, we have some flax-like plants called Astelia, which may weigh 50 to 100 kg; which live in the forks of trees, and accumulate both soil, and a variety of other plants, and even some environment-sensitive worms.
The emergent layer is the top layer of the rainforest canopy, consisting of the tallest trees that rise above the main canopy. It receives the most sunlight and is home to unique species of plants and animals adapted to the harsh conditions. The emergent layer plays a crucial role in providing habitat for various species and capturing sunlight for photosynthesis.

actually no plants grow in the canopy

Squirrel monkeys, toucans, oropendulas, and sloths all live in the canopy of the rain forest. There are also several bugs and plants that call the canopy home.
There are lots ranging from Rhinos to Elephants, which can be found in the canopy, to monkey trees and apple bushes as plants.
Moss and fern
sorry i can`t
Coniferous plants have conical canopy and are ever green where as the deciduous plants shed their all leaves every year and have diffused canopy.
Epiphytes survive in the forest canopy by attaching to large trees,usually in the crooks of branches where water can collect.
bromeliads and orchids
Mostly moss grows in the tundra biome.
