A palmeira de coco, or coconut palm, is a tall tropical tree known for its slender trunk and large, feathery leaves. It typically grows in sandy coastal areas and can reach heights of up to 30 meters. The tree produces coconuts, which are a vital source of food, water, and oil in many cultures. Coconut palms thrive in warm climates and require plenty of sunlight and moisture. They are not only important for their fruit but also for their wood and leaves, which are used in construction and crafts. The coconut is a versatile fruit, enjoyed fresh, dried, or as coconut milk.
