A forest is well known to be an area with thick bush; while a jungle is considered as part of a forest, or a kind of forest. A jungle is usually considered as a land area with tangled and overgrown trees, vines, and shrubs, which is most likely not penetrable. A jungle is foliage that needs to be cut down for humans to pass through, as it is almost impossible to traverse due to thick and closely packed vegetations.

A forest is a woodland that is covered with underbrush and trees. Forest covers a higher percentage of the landmass than the jungle. Forest also has lighter vegetation compared to the jungle. Forest allows the penetration of sunlight through its canopy than the jungle.
