Trees in the
canopy layer of the Rain Forest are as tall as 150 feet high and contain
smooth, oval leaves that come to a point. The trees in the canopy prevent rain from
reaching plants below. The canopy layer
also contains a number of flowers and fruits including: thick, woody vines and
epiphytes such as orchids, ferns, mosses and lichens.
