Trees like coconut which are found in coastal areas have special adaptation in leaves, what adaptation and why are the streams adapted in such a way?

Dear student,

Trees like coconut found in coastal areas have the following adaptations.

1. Roots are shallow and grow laterally so that they can find fresh water in the coastal sand.
2. The trunk of the tree is made of strong fibres so that the tree can bend in strong winds without breaking.
3. Such trees grow tall to compete with other trees for sunshine.

These adaptations are meant to ensure that these trees survive in coastal areas.
