Why coconut trees are not uprooted in storms like other trees?
Explanation:
1. The coconut tree is single-axis, has no branches, so it does not block the wind
2. The coconut leaves are structured in the form of pinnate lobes, with flexible ribs made of fibrous cellulose, which can easily reverse direction with the wind
3. The coconut trunk is composed of horn-shaped cellulose fibers (dark brown coconut chips) mixed with powdered cellulose (lighter-colored coconut meat), creating toughness and durability that cannot break in storms like other trees.
In particular, the taller the coconut, the stronger the trunk.
4. The coconut roots are deep and wide, so they cannot be uprooted in storms. When the rainy season comes, the coconut roots filter and absorb water into the ground, storing water for the dry season and reducing surface drainage for the soil. The coconut root system is also a place for beneficial microorganisms to live and develop, making the soil loose and rejuvenated.
The coconut root system is also a biological buffer layer that is very good for preventing subsidence of the ground if planted along the roadside and reducing erosion on roads along canals.
