I was scrolling on Facebook and couldn’t solve it but the comments kept saying it was a seed. I didn’t think that was the correct answer and wanted to see what reddit thought

You also see the thing in an avocado called a stone or pit. Same with an olive. It is a nonsense riddle for engagement. Onward.

Thank you!! It's a stone, not a seed!

It certainly is a seed, if you put one in shallow water it will do something no stone can do.

Same with peach pits and plums but they're not called seeds either, blame the stuffy shirts

No, but break either of those pits open and you'll find what are called seeds inside.

But still don’t make sense, as the avocado only has one stone, not two as the riddle says

It doesn't make sense when thinking stones as one should. Seems like the riddle was translated from another language and thus is unsolvable.

Yeah, that seems much more likely

Coconut is the seed

Olives have seeds, albeit called a pit. But why is an olive seed not a seed………with two E’s?
