Here's why:
* Dense Canopy: The towering trees of the rainforest form a dense canopy that blocks out most of the sunlight from reaching the ground.
* Limited Penetration: Only a small amount of sunlight filters through the gaps in the leaves and branches, making the forest floor a dimly lit environment.
* Adaptation: Plants and animals living on the forest floor are adapted to these low-light conditions, often having large leaves to capture what little light is available.
