Q. Which part of coconut is eatable?
Answer:
Endosperm
Notes: The edible part of coconut (Cocos nucifera) is endosperm. The endosperm is initially in its nuclear phase suspended within the coconut water. As development continues, cellular layers of endosperm deposit along the walls of the coconut, becoming the edible coconut “flesh”. Botanically, the coconut fruit is a drupe, not a true nut.
