temperature?
Plants adapting to the
environment
There are thousands of different plants and
they grow in many different places all over
the world. Plants grow in hot deserts and
under ice and snow. Plants from dry places
look very different to plants from wet places.
The highest tree ever measured was an
Australian eucalyptus. Its highest branch
was 132 metres above the ground. There is
a plant in Africa that lives in a dry environ-
ment. It has a root system more than 100
metres long.
In a tropical rainforest it rains nearly every
day. This means that plants can grow
quickly. In fact, there are so many plants that
low to the ground it is quite dark. So, plants
and trees grow higher to find more light. But
there's a problem. If a tree has lots of water,
it doesn't need a deep root system. If the top
of a tree is heavy from the rain, and the root
system is shallow, the tree might fall over.
Plants in the tropical rainforest have adapted
to these problems. The root systems are
wide to provide a good support for the tree.
The leaves on some plants have a special
cup shape. This helps the rain run off quickly
and stops the tree getting heavy with water.
Many plants grow very high to get more
sunlight. Others have big leaves to help the
plants get more light. Some plants grow on
tall trees so they are closer to the light.​
