Question

How is coconut dispersed

Answer 1

Answer:

Coconut seeds are dispersed by Hydrochory (dispersal by water). ... Seeds will disperse by rain or ice or be submerged in water. Seeds spread by water ought to have the power to float and resist water injury. They typically have hairs to help with enlargement and floating.

Answer 2

HEYA, BUDDY !!

: $\implies$ The coconut is very heavy to disperse by wind . thus, a coconut falls from the COCONUT PALM , rolls down to and is picked up by the waves and then the seed can be carried far away and get deposited on the other shore to germinate

As We know that, Coconut fruit is dispersed by water. Cocos nucifera commonly known as Coconut palm belongs to the Arecaceae family.

→The coconut seed is exceptionally well adapted to expand its range of dispersal of fruit and seeds by the method of aquatic dispersal. The seed floats when its external layers get parched out. The buoyant coconuts drift on ocean flows and land on tropical beaches where they develop into saplings and grow themselves.

→The seed maintains its own stock of nutrition and water. The coconut palm embryos are nurtured by the white coconut meat endosperm. The water and meat are enclosed in a tough bony coating called the endocarp. The fragile little embryo is implanted in the food tissue near a germination pore.

know more, Dispersal of seed is split into two mechanisms

- Autochory when the seeds are dispersed by using the plant's own means.

- Allochory is the mechanism where the seed is distributed through external means.
