Also known as rain forest, Rainforest

Rainforests are forests characterized by a closed and continuous tree canopy, moisture-dependent vegetation, the presence of epiphytes and lianas and the absence of wildfire. Rainforests can generally be classified as tropical rainforests or temperate rainforests, but other types have been described.

AI overview

A rainforest is a densely forested area with a continuous canopy of trees, moisture-loving plants, climbing vines, and plants that grow on other plants, where wildfires naturally don't occur. These forests exist in both tropical and temperate regions around the world, though scientists have identified additional types beyond these two main categories.
