The FOREST FLOOR of a tropical rainforest is so dark thatit is difficult for plants to grow. Leaves that fall to the floor decayquickly. Termites, leaf-cutter ants, worms, and fungi, like mushrooms,help to decompose, or break down, any organic material that falls tothe floor. Animals such as peccaries, armadillos,and anteaters feast on these decomposers.Hercules BeetleGoliath Birdeater TarantulaThe size of a dinner plate with its legsspread out.
