                         Canopy

 
 
 

    The canopy is also called the umbrella. The canopy's trees are as big as sixty to one hundred feet high. That's how the canopy stops the rain that falls from the sky. The rain mostly falls slowly from the leaves or drips down the enormous tree trunks. Thick, woody vines wrap around the top of the canopy. That vine is called lianas and is sometimes as big around as a person.
