And then there's the "sky forest" which is a large forest city of the plant people, which is placed on Island clouds and is floating over the "Earth".

I considered keeping "Sky Forest" as the name for the 2nd area but I'm open for ideas. The "earth" area is nameless atm though.
If you're writing from the plant people's (do you have a name for their race?) perspective, and assuming most citizens wouldn't venture down from their island, you could have some sort of name that came about from a myth that is passed down. That way you don't have to pick a name that's completely descriptive of what the place has. For example if they believe the earth portion cracked and fell from the sky forest, they might call it 'The Collapsed Lands'. If its obvious they thought it was dangerous and knew more about it, maybe something like 'The Forbidden Depths' to deter adventurers from going. And you could even add what makes it mysterious or dangerous by covering it with a tainted mist or shadow and work that into the lore for the name, and describe the biome of the place.

Suggestions for the sky forest, maybe something in the inhabitant's tongue and just means sky forest or city. Like that ghibli movie Laputa Castle in the Sky

Hope those help, good luck with the prompt! :)
