Based on the passage, the reader can infer that a high amount of rainfall helps support life in the rain forest.
Rainforests are home to over half of the world's plant and animal species. Rainforests are sometimes called the lungs of the planet because the trees that live there provide roughly one-third of the world’s oxygen. However, the passage does not mention that rainforest trees produce more oxygen than other trees or that rainforests are cold due to the amount of rainfall they get. The passage also does not mention that most animals in the rainforest live in the trees there.
