Where the leaf-stems of the Traveller's Palm join the tree their sheaths form a sort of cup, which collects rainwater. Think of cupping your hands together to form a little basin from which you can drink collected water.

Any plant which forms similar shapes as part of its anatomy will collect water which can be drunk in an emergency by cutting into the 'bowl' formation or by using a hollow grass or other stem as a drinking straw (using stems such as hay in this manner is where we get the word 'straw' in this context), but it is very important to be certain the plant you are drinking from is not poisonous to humans.

Will a palm tree grow on it own if chopped off another palm tree?

No, a palm tree will not grow on its own if chopped off from another palm tree. When a palm tree is severed, it cannot regenerate or grow roots without being planted properly. Palm trees require their roots and the connection to the soil to absorb water and nutrients essential for growth. Therefore, a chopped-off palm tree will not survive or develop independently.
