Q: Why is rain so important in the rainforest?
A: Rain is important because it helps the plants grow, and plants give food and shelter to the animals. The more rain, the more the rainforest can thrive!
Q: Why is the Amazon rainforest so important to the world?
A: The Amazon rainforest is important because it helps keep the Earth’s air clean, gives us oxygen to breathe, and has many types of wildlife that can help us understand nature better.
Q: What might happen if there were no trees in the Amazon rainforest?
A: Without trees, the animals wouldn't have a place to live, and the air would get hotter and drier. Trees help keep the rainforest cool, provide food, and make the whole place a better home for all the animals!
