Explanation

The fruit of the coconut is a large, dry drupe composed of a thin outer layer (exocarp), a thick, fibrous middle layer called as a mesocarp and a hard inner layer called as an endocarp that surrounds a large seed.

The seed is surrounded by an outer brown layer called as the seed coat or testa.
