Botanically, a coconut is a simple dry nut but it is mostly regarded as a fruit.

A coconut is neither a nut or a fruit; it is a seed. Unless it is picked, a matured coconut eventually drops from the tree. One day a green shoot sprouts out of the shell and becomes a young coconut seedling. Thanks for using ChaCha!
