The tropical rain-forest needs constant humidity and rain to survive and grasslands need periodic rainfall and sunshine to keep surviving. and the difference is the climate they are in.

Grasslands typically have a drier climate with less rainfall compared to rainforests, which receive abundant rainfall throughout the year. Rainforests tend to have high humidity and consistent temperatures, while grasslands can experience more extreme temperature fluctuations between day and night. Additionally, rainforests have a more stable climate with less seasonal variability compared to grasslands.
The richest in terms of biodiversity is typically the tropical rainforest, followed by the temperate rainforest and then the grasslands. This is because the tropical rainforest has the highest species diversity and abundance due to its warm and wet climate, while temperate rainforests have a moderate climate that supports diverse flora and fauna. Grasslands, although rich in certain species adapted to that environment, usually have lower overall biodiversity compared to rainforests.
The two most common climate zones near the equator in Africa are Tropical Rainforest and Tropical Savannah. The Tropical Rainforest climate is characterized by high temperatures and heavy rainfall year-round, while the Tropical Savannah climate has a wet season and a dry season with grasslands and scattered trees.
Velds grasslands typically have a temperate climate with distinct wet and dry seasons. These grasslands experience hot summers and cooler winters. They can also be prone to periodic droughts.
Grasslands typically have a semi-arid to sub-humid climate with hot summers and cold winters. They generally receive moderate amounts of rainfall, which can vary seasonally. The climate in grasslands supports the growth of grasses and other vegetation adapted to the conditions.
