The emergent layer is the tallest layer in the rain forest, whose entire existence depends on the tallest layer's ability to control moisture. The emergent layer provides food for a wide variety of animals like birds, insects, and snakes; it also hosts thousands of epiphytes, which take no nourishment from the host tree but provide a home to canopy pollinators.
