Answer: False
The outer covering of coconut is called coir. Jute is obtained from plants that are composed of cellulose and lignin.
The coir found in the outer covering of coconut is used as a material for making rope, brushes, mattresses, doormats etc.
The jute fibre is bulky and has low thermal insulation properties. They have sound and heat insulation properties as well as antistatic and tenacity as its features. These properties make jute a widely used material in industries.
The fibres of jute are obtained from the stem of the jute plant. Therefore the statement that jute is the outer covering of coconut is false.
