This passage is mainly about Coconuts are very delicious to eat. Are they fruits or nuts? The name makes people think it might be a nut. Shoppers can find them in grocery stores next to all the fruits. However, the coconut is neither a fruit nor a nut. It is actually a seed. Coconuts grow on tall coconut palm trees. If a coconut has not been picked from the tree, it will drop to the ground. The coconut's hard shell does not crack very easily. Sometimes, a coconut will sit under the tree for months. It might look dry and brown, but something is happening inside the shell. One day, a green shoot will push its way out of the shell. This shoot feeds off the juice and white part of the coconut while sitting under the tree. The baby plant then sprouts out of the shell and becomes a young coconut seedling. Roots start to come out of the shell and pull the plant into the ground. It then begins to grow into a beautiful coconut palm tree. The tree grows taller and taller. After five to seven years, it can make its own coconuts. The coconut palm tree can live 70 to 80 years.
