Answer: 2. Endosperm

The edible white kernel of coconut is its endosperm.

Coconut water is free-nuclear liquid endosperm, and the white kernel is the cellular endosperm formed later. The pericarp is the husk and shell. Cotyledon (as in pea or bean) and perisperm (persistent nucellus, as in black pepper) are not the edible part here.
