The coconut palm (cocos nucifera) belongs to the botanical family Arecaceae while the jowar stalk plant commonly known as sorghum (sorghum sp.) belongs to the family Poaceae.



The similarities between both coconut and jowar are that, while they originated from different parts of the world, they are found on the Indian subcontinent. While coconut is said to have first been found in the Americas, jowar is considered native to Australia. Both are used in preparation of food.



The main difference between them lies in their different uses. Jowar is used as a food item, grain and fodder for animals, while coconut is mainly used for its oil, husk, palm fronds, leaves etc.
