Q4. What plants live in the Rainforest?

Q4. What plants live in the rainforerst?

Bromelidas are related to the pinapple family. Their fat waxy leaves form a bowl to catch rain.

Leananas. Ninety per cent of the world's vine species grow in tropical rainforests. Lianas are a type of climbing vine found throughout tropical rainforests.

Buttress roots. Most rainforest soil is very poor with all the nutrients available largely remaining at surface level. Because of this rainforest trees have very shallow roots.

Strangler roots. Most stranglers are members of the fig family. In Spanish they are known as matapalo - 'killer tree'.
