They are in the Monera Kingdom and they are the soil dwellers. Azotobacter, however, lives in the water and soil too. It causes pollution in the water, which affects many creatures living in it. Nostoc, Scytonema, and Stigonema are the cyanobacteria of the rainforest. Nostoc is an original cyanobacteria because it lives in the water and on land, but also, it is nitrogen based, which means that it helps support the growth of plants. A species of Nostoc- //Nostoc commune//- was found to be UV absorbant, which enabled the organism to survive under high ultra violet rays. There are protists such as Flagellates, Plasmodium, Thallasiosira, Cercomonads, and Biomyxa in the Protista Kingdom. They all live in the soil of the tropical rainforest biome. Plasmodiun is a parasite; it is responsible for human malaria. Fungi are all over the tropical rainforest. Sac Fungi, slime mould, organ pipe fungus, Devil's tongues, and stingcorn fungus are just a few of the fungi across the forest floor. Plant Kingdom is almost the largest among the five Kingdoms of the biome. Orchids are in the vascular group. In this group are also banana trees, ferns, and bamboo trees and plants. For the largest kingdom of the tropical rainforest's five kingdoms is the Animal kingdom. In the animal kingdom theres a variety of different animal groups, like mammals, which includes jaguars and chimpanzees in the category. In the arthropods group are wood ants. Not only are they the most common animals in this region, but also they are the most populated animals in the world. For the bird group, a great example for tropical rainforest biomes are the tucan. They have enormous beaks, which they are famous for, and their coating is black and white. Their beaks are a beautiful mix of several pearl and greenish colors. For the echinoderms, starfish are the most common water organisms living in this biome. There are also segmented worms that the rainforest has. For example, earthworm named Annelida is very common. It has segmented body divisions that are created by the internall organs. Hydra is a small organism that lives deep in the freshwaters that has a very small dimension and it is an invertebrate. The predator and prey relationship for the rainforest is very vast. Here is a chart of many kinds of these relationships: Sponge life in Tropical rainforest biome
