Detailed explanation-1: -The tropical rainforest biome gets the highest precipitation or rainfall annually. Most regions get at least 200 cm to about 430 cm rain annually.

Detailed explanation-2: -Rainforests receive the most rain of all of the biomes in a year! A typical year sees 2, 000 to 10, 000 millimeters (79 to 394 inches) of rain per year.

Detailed explanation-3: -The tropical rainforest biome has four main characteristics: very high annual rainfall, high average temperatures, nutrient-poor soil, and high levels of biodiversity (species richness). Rainfall: The word “rainforest” implies that these are the some of the world’s wettest ecosystems.

Detailed explanation-4: -Tropical rainforests occur in regions of the tropics where temperatures are always high and where rainfall exceeds about 1, 800 to 2, 500 mm (about 70 to 100 inches) annually and occurs fairly evenly throughout the year.

Detailed explanation-5: -Deserts get about 250 millimeters (10 inches) of rain per year-the least amount of rain of all of the biomes.
