Question

Why do most of the coconut trees grow along the sea shores?

Answer 1

• Coconut trees have light weighted seeds that are adapted to float on water.
• The outer covering of seeds are fibrous with air spaces that encloses the whole seed or fruit.
• These features allow the entire coconut fruit to float on water and move from one place to another.
• Upon reaching ground, it germinates and give rise to a seedling.
• That’s why we usually find coconut trees growing near sea shores.
