Here's why:
* Tropical rainforests are characterized by receiving high amounts of rainfall throughout the year, typically between 200 and 400 centimeters (80 and 160 inches).
* They are also known for their hot and humid climate, with average temperatures ranging from 20 to 30 degrees Celsius (68 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit).
While other types of rainforests exist, such as temperate rainforests, they generally receive less rainfall than tropical rainforests.
