Coconuts

Definition

Coconuts are tropical fruits with hard shells containing white flesh and liquid known as coconut water. They grow on coconut palm trees predominantly found in coastal regions.

Analogy

Think of coconuts as nature's water bottles! Just like how we use plastic bottles filled with water when we go hiking or spend a day at the beach, coconuts come with their own natural "bottle" filled with refreshing coconut water.
