Freshwater that gets accumulated in coconut is actually 'endosperm' or the food or nourishment for the coconut's growth. Nourishing endosperm is in the liquid form in the initial stage of the green coconut.
In early development, it serves as a suspension for the endosperm of the coconut during the nuclear phase of development. As growth continues, the endosperm matures into its cellular phase and deposits into the rind of the coconut pulp.The liquid inside young coconuts is often preferred to the liquid of a ripened coconut.
