Liana - Woody creepers rooted to the ground but carried by trees into the canopy to maximise access to light., Buttress Roots - Large ridges to help support the base of emergent trees so they can grow tall to maximise sunlight., Drip Tip - Allow the daily,heavy rainfall to run off the leaf. This prevents algae growing which could stop photosynthesis, Epiphyte - Plants which live on trunks and branches of other plants, allows them to make the most of the sunlight in the canopy layer, Spider Monkey - Long, strong limbs to help it to climb through the canopy trees to find food., Toucan - Has a long, large bill to allow it to reach and cut fruit from branches that are too weak to support its weight., Sloth - Uses camouflage and moves very slowly to make it difficult for predators to spot, Shallow roots - Latosols are poor in nutrients, so the fertile humus layer is where most nutrients are.,
