Answer 2

Palm trees are used to produce food (coconuts).

The coconuts can be consumed as a fruit, or the milk inside can be drained and sold in tins as coconut milk.

The coconut can also be used to make oil, biofuel, wax, an ingredient in wine or the fruit can be compacted then chopped to make what's called palm heart, a tasty addition to salads.

The leaves are also used to feed farm animals. When the coconut farmer Prunes the leaves, they are either given to livestock to eat or sold to a livestock farmer.

Palm tree leaves and branches can also be used to build temporary huts. The leaves stay greener than most other trees, so the hut blends into the background and camouflages, useful for hunting or observing wildlife. The technique was also used by soldiers during the Second World War to camouflage buildings, defensive positions and tanks.

The leaves can also be weaved, to create baskets and so on.

The wood from palm trees can be used to make good-looking decorations, such as wooden umbrellas for a picnic table. But because the wood is so little, it's not really a good use for making entire buildings out of.

The sap can also be drained and transformed into syrup. Much like the Canadians drain syrup from maple trees to produce maple syrup.

Palm trees are also used for coastal defences. The trees are very firmly rooted into the ground, that even a hurricane has difficulty knocking them down, because they are very strong. For this purpose, the trees are planted along coasts and flood-risk zones to try and break and slow the flood water (such as tsunamis and so on). They are also used as windbreakers to weaken incoming hurricanes.

Palm trees are extremely useful to us, they are probably one of the most important tree species in the world.
