Answer the following questions briefly.

Why is tropical rainforest also called evergreen forest?

The tropical rainforests occur in the areas which receive heavy rainfall. They are so dense that the sunlight doesn’t reach the ground. Many species of trees found in these forests, shed their leaves at different times of the year. Therefore, they always appear green and are called evergreen forests.

Additional information- Important trees found in Tropical evergreen forests are mahogany, rosewood and ebony. Andaman and Nicobar Islands, parts of North-eastern states and a narrow strip of the Western Ghats are home of these forests.
