Question

Why even after a heavy rainfall, the ground in the forest remains dry?

✓

Answer

The upper layer of the forest canopy intercepts the flow of rain drops and most of the water comes down through the branches and the stems of the tree, from the leaves rain water drips slowly over branches of the shrubs and herbs, thus the ground does not wet at all.
