    The rainforest has several layers. The top layer is the canopy where the uppermost branches of large trees reach. This layer receives the most sunlight and has warm, waxy leaves. Beneath the canopy is the understory layer, where smaller trees and plants receive limited sunlight that filters through the canopy. The dense undergrowth and deep shade is home to slithering snakes and crawling insects. The lowest layer is the forest floor, which receives the least sunlight. It is a dark and humid layer where fruit falls from trees and decomposes, providing nutrients for new plants.
