Scientific Overview: Coconuts produce large, round fruits with a hard, fibrous shell enclosing a kernel and liquid endosperm. The kernel, also known as copra, is rich in oil and used in various culinary and cosmetic applications.
Cultivation and Harvest: Coconut palms are cultivated in tropical regions worldwide for their fruits and oil. The fruits are harvested when mature and then processed to extract the oil.
Plant Morphology: Coconut palms have tall, slender trunks with crown-like clusters of large, pinnate leaves. The fruits grow in clusters at the top of the palm and can vary in size and shape depending on the cultivar.
