    large, fibrous fruit from the coconut palm, used in various products

    A coconut is a large, fibrous drupe (fruit) from the coconut palm (Cocos nucifera), commonly found in tropical regions. It has a hard, woody shell encasing a white, edible flesh and a liquid known as coconut water. The oil extracted from the flesh, known as coconut oil, is widely used in cooking, cosmetics, and hair care products due to its moisturizing and antimicrobial properties.
