Being able to float is an adaptation for seed dispersion. Coconuts float because the wind can't pick them up; nor can they pass through an animal's digestive system; nor can they stick to an animal's fur and be dispersed that way. Coconuts float down a waterway until they implant in the soil and then germinate.
