Back in 2011, the U.S. Census Bureaupublished a report breaking down the median household net worth by age and in quintiles. Because I only think comparison is a valuable tool to get a very broad feel for where you stand, I've excluded the lowest and highest quintiles.
The PatauÃ¡ tree is a slow-growing type of palm tree that is found throughout the Amazon. Natives use the tree for many things, including using the palms for roofing, the roots for medicinal purposes, the fruit and oil (which is very high in protein) as a source of nutrition and the fibers in the palms for weaving.
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.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.
