Rainforest Plants The emergents are widely spaced trees. They grow 100 to 120 feet. Emergents have umbrella shaped canopies that extend above the general canopy of the forest. Since they must contend with drying winds, they tend to have small leaves. Some species are deciduous during the brief dry season.

Rainforest Plants There is also four plants I will name. 1. The climbers are green stemmed plants such as a philodendron that remain in the understory.Many climbers, including the domesticated yams (Africa), and sweet potatoes (South America) store nutrients in roots and tubers.

Rainforest Plants 2.Lianas are woody vines that grow rapidly up the tree trunks when there is a temporary gap in the canopy,flowers, and fruit in the tree tops of the A and B Layer.

Rainforest Plants 3. Epiphytes are the so called air plants that grow on branches high in any trees. 4. Parasites derive their nutrients by tapping into roots or stems of photosynthetic species. Those are the plants of the Rainforest.
