Being in “salty water areas” doesn’t mean plants use salt water, they are resistant to it, more than other plants, but they still need fresh water.

Water is accumulated the same way with every tree it gets sucked up from the ground, coconut tree store the water in it because it is the fruit/seed of the tree, it needs more nutrients

The sweetness come from the sugar from photosynthesis. It is how plants make energy, taking in sunlight and CO2 and converting it to oxygen and sugars.
