The main characteristics of a tropical rainforest include dense vegetation, high humidity, abundant rainfall, and large amounts of biodiversity. Tropical rainforests typically have tall trees that can reach up to 150 feet in height, with some reaching over 200 feet. These trees provide habitat for many species of animals, birds, insects, and other organisms. The canopy of the forest is often home to a variety of epiphytes such as orchids, bromeliads, and mosses. Additionally, there are numerous lianas (woody vines) that grow up and around the trees, providing additional support and creating an intricate web-like structure within the forest.
