What makes these plants different to others?
Note: After reading the below information please scroll down to view our slideshow of plants and flowers in the Amazon. Thank you.
The Amazon Rainforest is home to many different types and species of plant life. These types of plants are extremely different to our plant life in Australia and other places. They are ' Rainforest Plants'.
These plants are different to normal plant life because:
* The lack of sunlight causes plants to grow in and around trees, like Twisted Liana.
* The heat and humidity also causes plants to grow in water and damp areas, like the Water Lily.
* The plants that grow in the Understorey can live underground because of the lack of sunlight.
* They also live in tree tops, on the Emergents.
* Many plants also attract animals and insects because of the pollen they produce.
