The greatest limiting factor for plants that grow on the floor of a rainforest is SUNLIGHT.

A rainforest is a forest with high rainfall. A rainforest has 4 layers. These layers are Emergent layer, Canopy Layer, Understory Layer, and Forest Floor.

Only plants adapted to low light can grow on the forest floor since on 2% of the sunlight can penetrate the forest floor.
