Why do coconut trees on sea shore bend towards sea ?

Yesterday I was watching TV . A report on sea erosion was being aired as it is the rainy season . I saw sea engulfing the sand and the coconut trees . The trees were grown on sea shore . I was surprised by seeing the trees , all of them , had bent towards the sea . In my house too , we have coconut trees . But all of them have grown straight . But here , they have bent towards sea . I know trees will grow such a way that they will receive maximum sunlight at a greater surface area . This phenomena , called phototrophism is evident with coconut trees as they don't branch like other trees . But why bending towards sea and inviting their own death during sea erosion !? The answer is ...... ..... ....... SEA REFLECTS LOTS OF INCOMING LIGHT TOWARDS TREES . Coconut tree which is searching for sunlight , bend towards sea without knowing the danger it has to face .
