The inside of a conker is made of a seed or nut surrounded by a hard protective shell. The seed or nut is the part of the conker that can grow into a new tree when planted.
My friends and me call them 'cheesies' because they are cheese shaped.
The conker comes in a casing. The casing falls of the tree, opens up and the conker rolls away. An animal, such as a squirrel, will eat conkers and acorns. If the squirrel doesn't eat it then it will store it underground. It buries the conker and fills the hole so nobody will spot it. Unlike dogs they don't have a very good memory. They won't remember where they put their seed so it will grow into a tree.
The weight of a conker, also known as a horse chestnut seed, can vary depending on its size and moisture content. On average, a conker typically weighs between 5 to 10 grams, which is roughly equivalent to the weight of a U.S. nickel or a small paper clip. Conkers are relatively lightweight compared to other nuts or seeds due to their high water content and thin outer shell.
As of 2021, the largest conker in the world was reported to be over 18 cm in circumference, found in the UK. However, this record may have changed since then.

This common British children's game is called Conkers. Two players thread the seed of the Horse Chestnut tree (the conker) on a piece of string. They, then, take turns hitting each others conker until one breaks. This game dates back to 1848 on the Isle of Wight.
