Coconuts are used for a number of things:

The oil is used for drinking, hair tonic and even as a medium in tissue culture.

The coconut "meat" is used for eating as well as dried and using in baking and cooking.

The coconut husk (fibre around the seed) is used for to produce mates, brooms and brushes, the by-product of this is used as a growing medium for plants and seedlings (coconut "peat").

The trunk of the palm (when it dies) is used for a number of things including containers, fibre and decoration.

The plants themselves are used both for fruit production as well as their use in ornimental landscaping
