how the water/juice ends up in a coconut
roots of the coconut absorb water from the soil by a process called osmosis. the water is then transported to different parts of the coconut plant. some of it reaches the coconut. the liquid which eventually reaches the coconut is referred to as the endosperm. the endosperm acts as the food or nourishment for the coconut's growth. now, a part of the endosperm gets converted into a creamy tissue and gets deposited on the coconut's inner surface. over a period of time, this creamy tissue turns hard (coconut flesh) and the remaining endosperm ends up as coconut water/juice. so you're drinking cocoNUT.

see the thing is, my bio textbook describes the exact same process yet one of these things is not like the others
