Forests have different levels like a cake. The tallest trees are on top, and the smallest plants are at the bottom. Each level has its own home for animals and plants.
Examples
- A squirrel lives under the trees but doesn’t climb up very high.
- Birds like toucans fly around in the top of the canopy layer.
- Fungi on the forest floor help break down fallen leaves.
