cucumber/carrot - ?/? (Nov/11/2005 )
Coconut is not a fruit though... its a nut.
I don't think many nuts float.
Nuts have the general tendancy to sink... but I don't think it has to do with the xylem or phloem content.

Sorry, I thought coconut is a fruit as it is in the Fruit section of the supermarket.

Hi
it's very simple, and that your thinking is correct. carrot is a type of root and it has conducting ducts like xylem and phloem with hard tissue. But in cucumber it's a product( Fruit) and it is a light weigt tissue fruit. It also contains that same ducts for water and other materials conduction.
It may satisfy you
