Homonym: Cocos Nucifera (Coconut)
Cocos Nucifera, commonly known as the coconut palm, is a tropical tree native to coastal regions of the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean. It can grow up to 30 meters tall and is characterized by its tall, slender trunk and large, feathery leaves. The tree produces coconuts, which are the fruit of the palm, containing water and a white edible flesh.
Coconut palms thrive in sandy, well-drained soil and require plenty of sunlight and moisture. They are economically important, providing food, oil, and materials for various products. The coconut is also culturally significant in many tropical regions, often symbolizing hospitality and abundance.
