There is an extra layer on the outside of the coconut. The thick layer of coconut fibre (as seen in coconut matting) is hidden inside a solid, (and waterproof) final layer. This enables the seed to float across the ocean for months or years without spoiling the seed inside. This has enabled the coco de mer to colonise almost every island in the Pacific.

Coco-de-mer seeds are notably heavy due to their large size and dense structure, often weighing between 10 to 25 kilograms (22 to 55 pounds) each. Their weight can be attributed to the thick shell and the substantial amount of endosperm inside, which provides nutrients for the seed. Additionally, their unique shape and size contribute to their reputation as one of the heaviest seeds in the plant kingdom.
The Coco de Mer plant, also known as the double coconut, originates from the Seychelles islands in the Indian Ocean. It is mostly found on the islands of Praslin and Curieuse. The plant produces the largest seed in the plant kingdom.
