The purpose of the coconut seed is to facilitate the reproduction and dispersal of the coconut palm (Cocos nucifera). The seed contains the embryonic plant and a nutrient-rich endosperm, which provides energy for the seedling's growth. Additionally, coconuts can float on water, allowing them to travel across oceans and colonize new areas, ensuring the species' survival and propagation.
yes, the part of coconut edible is its seed.
The seed of the coconut is the inner kernel or flesh found inside the hard shell.

To plant a coconut seed inside a coconut, first crack open the coconut and remove the seed. Then, plant the seed in a pot with well-draining soil and keep it in a warm, sunny location. Water the seed regularly and ensure the soil is consistently moist. Over time, the seed will sprout and grow into a new coconut tree.
The whole coconut is the seed so depending on the coconut's size it could be pretty heavy.

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.
yes.but it is on the tree the it falls and then it grows and one year later the coconuts start to grow.On the coconut tree, the coconut is the seed, and when the coconut falls down, it grows into another tree. Sometimes, the coconut will fall into the water, but the coconut floats. Water travel is how coconuts move from island to island. It is also why you find coconuts floating in the ocean!
A coconut seed weighs about 5 pounds.
An example of a seed that has liquid endosperm would be a coconut. While it does contain cellular endosperm, the coconut milk would be considered liquid endosperm.
Short Answer: Yes. Many people mistake that the coconut is a fruit but when the coconut is "born" is has many qualities of a fruit. Many people may also mistake the coconut as a nut but as the coconut matures it gains nut properties. Surprisingly the coconut is a seed. The coconut tree, Cocos nucifera, produces a nut that is the fruit of the tree and also the seed. Each nut will produce one seedling in favourable conditions.
They grow from seed, to seedling, to adult in the same manner.
