Heliophyte: Plants, which are adapted to live under plenty of sunlight, are called heliophytes, e.g. banyan. Heliophytes form the roof of a forest.

Sciophyte: Plants, which are adapted to live under low light conditions, are called sciophtyes, e.g. herbs. Sciophytes form the understory of a forest.
