The rainforest has four layers. They are, the forest floor, the understory, the canopy and last there is the emergent layer.
First there is the forest floor which is on the bottom. The forest floor is 0 feet above the ground. Next there is the understory. The understory is 0 feet to 60 feet above the ground. Then there is the canopy. The canopy is 60 feet to 130 feet and last but not least the emergent layer is 130 to 160 feet above the ground.
