Question

which tissue makes up the husk of coconut

Answer 1

The coconut husk is made of Sclerenchyma tissue.

Sclerenchyma is Greek word where "Sclrenes" means hard and "enchyma" means infusion. This tissue consists of thick-walled, dead cells. These cells have hard and extremely thick secondary walls due to uniform distribution of lignin. Lignin deposition is so thick that the cell walls become strong, rigid and impermeable to water.

Sclerenchymatous cells are closely packed without inter-cellular spaces between them and are cemented with the help of lamella. The middle lamella is a wall that lies between adjacent cells. They occur in endocorp of almond and coconut. It is made of pectin, lignin, protein.
