Not only do numerous species of animals inhabit the jungles, there is also a great diversity of plants. In fact, it is one of the biomes with the greatest biological diversity on the planet, found mainly in areas of tropical climates. According to its latitude, we can distinguish between equatorial, tropical, subtropical, temperate and subpolar forest. Also, some of the most popular plants in the rainforest are lianas, orchids, and bromeliads.
Of course, we can also find different species of trees. The coconut tree ( cocos nucifera ) is a palm with a single trunk that can reach 30 meters in height. Also, its leaves are about six meters long. Its fruit, the coconut, measures between 20 and 30 centimeters and can weigh more than two kilograms. Although it is mostly found near the sea, it also inhabits tropical rainforests.
Likewise, the coffee plant ( coffea arabica ) is a tree that grows between 9 and 12 meters. Its leaves are deep green, while the flowers are white. The coffee fruit (known as drupe) is reddish in color. This plant is native to Ethiopia and Yemen, although due to its economic importance it is cultivated in other countries.
