Rain does not usually fall on the ground in a rainforest because the ground is covered with plants and fungus unless the ground is bare because of slash-and-burn cultivation. In that case, the rain falls on the ground and washes minerals downstream.

In the rainforest, the dense tree canopy and vegetation act as a barrier, causing the rain to get intercepted by leaves, branches, and other vegetation on its way down. This interception process slows down the rainfall, allowing some water to evaporate back into the atmosphere or be absorbed by plants before reaching the forest floor.
