Forest Floor


The forest floor is the bottom layer. This warm, damp, and dark layer’s floor is covered in fallen leaves, rotting fruit, and dead animals. The tree roots grow into a thick mat covering the floor. Plants have huge leaves to catch whatever sunlight is available. Earthworms eat the dead plants and animals covering the ground. Fungi, scorpions, millipedes, and bacteria also help decompose dead organisms.
