Cumulonimbus clouds have a violet and erratic updraughts of air.
Water which condenses out to fall as rain , can also be raised higher in the atmosphere by these updraughts, to a point where the water freezes in to hail.
Because of the erratic nature of draughts in these clouds , both rain and hail can fall from the cloud.

Does the cumulus cloud produce rain?
yes if it is a cumulonimbus cloud!
What type of precipitation do cumulonimbus clouds produce?
Very heavy rain or hail. These type of clouds often are associated with thunderstorms.
What two types of clouds produce rain?
a cumulus cloud and a cumulonimbus produce rain.
How can rain and hail fall from the same cumulonimbus cloud?
The clouds usually are fairly restricted in height, but can sometimes extend upwards to much higher altitudes when they become known as cumulonimbus clouds. These are very large and can extend to 12000 metres or higher. At base level, the cloud is made up of water droplets but the top of the cloud is made up of ice crystals. Cumulonimbus produce severe weather such as heavy rain, hail, thunderstorms and tornadoes.
What type of cloud does heavy rain fall from?
Cumulonimbus clouds, those can cause supercell storms (rotating thunderstorms) and then severe weather, such as deadly lightning, tornadoes, large hail, straight line winds, and even flooding.Another cloud is Mammatus. Mammatus hangs beneath the anvil of a mature thunder cloud. It produces severe weather especially tornadoes. I read this from a book so this is true.

How can the same cumulonimbus cloud produce rain or hail?
Generally, it's the rain that it produces. However, if during this process the temperature drops to very low, they freeze and fall down as Hails.

What falls from cumulonimbus?
Depending on the temperature and other conditions, it could be rain, snow or hail. But if the question is about what falls from cumulonimbus that most likely wouldn't fall from other cloud formations, then the answer would be hail. It's the vertical activity that gives the cumulonimbus cloud its distinctive shape, and it's the vertical activity that forms hail...especially large hail stones.
