Drip tip leaves allow rainwater that falls onto them to flow off easily. As there is frequent rainfall that occurs in the tropical rainforest, this is important as it helps the leaves to dry quickly and prevents the growth of fungi and bacteria on them. ]]> 2023-03-06 02:57:37 UTC https://padlet.com/pad_humanities/fmz1s51gra1a5qbz/wish/2504447471 Rachel 1.1 (29) https://padlet.com/pad_humanities/fmz1s51gra1a5qbz/wish/2504448946 Rainforests
