Almost every part of the coconut tree and fruit is usable, and what makes coconut fiber resistant to mold and rot is lignin, a component that gives waterproofing and great resistance to plants. . Lignin makes up approximately 46% of the weight of coconut fiber, making it the strongest and most durable natural fiber without requiring any chemical treatment.
