Detailed explanation-1: -Why would plants such as mosses and ferns in a tropical rainforest grow larger than similar plants in Canada? The plants are very dependent on easily accessible water. Tropical rainforests have an abundance of water.

Detailed explanation-2: -Biomes and Climate A region’s climate largely determines which biome covers any particular portion of the planet. Climate describes the average conditions, including temperature and precipitation, over long periods in a given area.

Detailed explanation-3: -Biomes. A biome is an area classified according to the species that live in that location. Temperature range, soil type, and the amount of light and water are unique to a particular place and form the niches for specific species allowing scientists to define the biome.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fern fronds are tightly coiled when young, unwinding the coil as they expand. Ferns are spore-bearing plants and the spores are produced.
