Q. From which part of coconut coir is obtained?

Rajasthan PMTRajasthan PMT 2009

Solution:

Commercial coir is obtained from the fibrous husk (mesocarp) of the fruits of coconut palm or Cocos nucifera (family-Arecaceae). The fibre is very light, elastic, waterproof, sound proof, exceedingly high resistant to mechanical wear and dampness but less durable and more rough surfaced. It is used for making mets, gunny ags, marine cordage, fishing nets, etc.
