Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Tropical rainforests are the most biologically diverse terrestrial ecosystems in the world. The Amazon rainforest is the world’s largest tropical rainforest.

Detailed explanation-2: -The tropical rain forests have the largest terrestrial biodiversity.

Detailed explanation-3: -Tropical forests have the highest biodiversity and primary productivity of any of the terrestrial biomes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Tropical rain forest types of forests exhibits highest bio-diversity. Tropical rainforests are known for their extreme biodiversity, posing a challenging problem in tropical ecology. A rain forest is simply an area of tall, mostly evergreen trees and a high amount of rainfall. Was this answer helpful?

Detailed explanation-5: -The canopy system characteristic of tropical rainforests further increases diversity by creating new niches in the form of new sources of food, new shelters, new hiding places, and new areas for interaction with other species. In fact, it is estimated that 70-90 percent of life in the rainforest is found in the trees.
