Coconuts spread their seeds by water.

How:

The ripe coconut falls in the water and drifts with it, then the husk part of the fruit starts to rot and germinate, and when it meets the right place and soil, it starts to take root and grow.

Leaves can also be aided by animals. Swallowing by the animal exposes the seed, which falls into the soil.

Or simply swallowed by the animal into the belly, and again discharged, if the conditions are ripe, can also fall into the soil to live and reproduce.

There are two ways in which plant seeds spread: first, by external forces, such as wind, water, animals and humans carry; second, by the forces generated by themselves.

Wind

Wind is ubiquitous, and the earth's winds become the seed's traveling? "free ride." With the help of wind dispersal of seeds, generally small and light, can be suspended in the air by the wind to a distance; some seeds are often born on the surface of the flocculent hairs, fruit wings, etc., these special structure is suitable for flying with the help of the wind.
