How the forest floor does not get the sunlight?

The canopy created by the tall trees and the understory prevents sunlight from reaching the ground, thus little sunlight reaches the forest floor.

In a dense forest, the canopy trees can block out over 95% of the sunlight. The soil is, therefore, always shaded, and very little vegetation is able to survive at ground level.
