Rain Forest Biome. Plants in the rain forest include Liana vine,orchids, banana tree,coconut tree, bougainvillea vine, philodendrons, ferns and bromeliads. To ensure survival in their biome, plants have certain characteristics. The weather is hot and wet so trees do not need thick bark to slow down moisture loss, but have thin, smooth bark.
Epiphytes. Another common rainforest plant includes epiphytes -- plants that never touch soil in the rainforest. Instead, these plants use the nutrients and resources of the trees they grow on to thrive. Epiphytes include orchids, bromeliads and a few ferns.he most prevalent plants in the rainforest are trees. Trees make up at least 68 percent of the plants growing in the Amazon, according to the Rainforest Conservation Fund. One of the larger trees includes the big-leaf mahogany that stretches 200 feet into the sky and lives up to 350 years of age.
