What does a canopy layer mean?
An estimated 70-90 percent of life in the rainforest exists in the trees, above the shaded forest floor. Primary tropical rainforest is vertically divided into at least five layers: the overstory, the canopy, the understory, the shrub layer, and the forest floor. Each layer has its own unique plant and animal species interacting with the ecosystem around them. The overstory refers to the crowns of emergent trees which soar 20-100 feet above the rest of the canopy. The canopy is the dense ceiling of closely spaced trees and their branches, while the understory is the term for more widely spaced, smaller tree species and juvenile individuals that form a broken layer below the canopy. The shrub layer is characterized by shrubby species and juvenile trees that grow only 5-20 feet off the forest floor. The forest floor is the ground layer of the forest made up of the trunks of trees, fungus, and low-growing vegetation. These layers are not always distinct and can vary from forest to forest, but serve as a good model of the vegetative and mechanical structures of the forest.

What kind of animals live in forest floor?
snake, ants I know one is the Jaguar.
How does structural stratification of a forest affect its diversity of animal life?
strata is referring to a layer or canopy of a forest stand. the canopy will provide a shade to the forest floor which is needed for shade demanding plant to grow. For other place which is not under a canopy, the light demanding plant will grow. moreover, canopy also influence in environment condition such as temperature, wind, light, and many more that will affect the animal and plant under it.
What process on the forest floor that breaks down dead plant and animals?
That is the process of decay.
What factors would limit photosynthesis and growth of a plant in the forest floor?
Sunlight and moisture
What are the two layers that plants make up in a tropical forest?
all but if you mean just plant and not trees then only the forest floor
