So are all nuts and fruits all contain seeds!

I would say it was the fruit of the (er, coconut?) palm, rather than an actual nut. Interesting question!

It's a seed, Nick is correct.

But as I said, all nuts are seeds, so why do we call them nuts?

And this person turns out to be a spammer after all.

Go back to India Mr JH and worry about yer nuts there!

Because all nuts are seeds but all seeds aren't nuts.

coconut is considered as what?
