Coconut Tree
The coconut tree (Cocos Nucifera), the term coconut can refer to the
whole coconut palm or the seed, or the fruit, which botanically, is a dupe or a
nut. The spelling coconut is an archaic form of the word. The term is derived
from the 16th century Portuguese and Spanish word coco meaning “head” or
“skull”, form the three indentations on the coconut shell that resemble facial
features. Coconuts are known for their versatility ranging from food to
cosmetics Vidad (2006). Coconut are distinct from other fruits for their
endosperm containing a large quantity of water (also called milk). The husk
and leaves can be used as material to make a variety of product for furnishing
and decorating.
