It floats really well, can withstand salt water (the seed still lives after months of floating around) and even as the outer hard layer gives way, the bare seed can still float and survive on its own. Also young palm trees settle well on the nutrient-poor sand where they arrive.

What is the seed dispersal mechanism for a coconut?
The coconut itself is the seed of a palm tree. Coconut dispersal is by water. It can travel for thousands of kilometer then settles on the land to germinate.
How is coconut dispersal?
water
How is the coconut dispersal?
normally by water
Which part of a coconut aids in its seed dispersal?
Well, if you are talking about water disperal, it's the outer shell of coir that allows it to float. Barochory, the use of gravity also helps the dispersal. The weight of the coconut means that it hits the ground with enough energy to roll a considerable distance from the tree.
How do coconut dispersal?
Coconut is dispered by water. It has waterproof outer layer or fibrus husks to help stay afloat in water.
How do you think seeds of the coconut tree disperse with pictures?
water dispersal
What are some fruits that use water dispersal?
Coconut , Lotus , Lilly
What plants use water dispersal?
Plants that use water dispersal for seed dispersal include water lilies, coconuts, and mangroves. These plants produce seeds or fruits that can float on water, allowing them to be carried to new locations for germination.
Why apple trees do not grow in Kerala and coconut cannot be grown in Kashmir?
apple trees grow in the cold climate and the coconut trees need water for dispersal
How does coconut dispersal?
Coconut seeds are among some of the seeds that are dispersed by water. This is because these seeds are capable of floating on the water despite being very large. They have fibrous husks, which traps air helping it to stay afloat in water. Due to this type of dispersion, the seeds germinate at new sites away from the parent plant.
Why Apple cannot be grown in Kerala and Coconut Trees cannot be grown in Kashmir?
apple trees grow in the cold climate and the coconut trees need water for dispersal
What are the four dispersal methods?
The four main dispersal methods are wind dispersal, water dispersal, animal dispersal, and self-dispersal. Wind dispersal involves seeds or spores being carried by the wind, water dispersal involves seeds or spores being carried by water currents, animal dispersal involves seeds or spores being carried by animals, and self-dispersal involves seeds or spores being dispersed by the plant itself.
