Best Answer

The coconuts themselves are seeds of the palm tree. If coconuts are left undisturbed on the ground, some of them will eventually become partially buried; then the new coconut palm tree sprout will emerge, some of these survive to maturity--a new palm tree.

Other coconut seeds are dispersed by water normally sea-water, but sometimes they can find their way into freshwater rivers and streams

Coconut seed is dispersed y action of the ocean waves and by being deliberately planted by human beings.Coconut seed is very big in size that most of the animals and birds can't hold it or eat it.They form a spongy or fibrous coat that help them to float.Coconut can travel to thousands of kilometres across seas and oceans.
