Bananas do have seeds, however bananas from your regular grocery store will have very small soft seeds that are somewhat hard to identify. Wild bananas on the other hand have large hard seeds.

Commercial bananas do not have seeds, true. But traditional rainforest varieties do have seeds. Since the latter are the parent stock for a random mutation that created the commercial banana, they are still classified as fruits.

The banana has been selectively bred so that it does not have any seeds. This is obviously because a banana with seeds is a little tricky to eat (seeing as they are up to 2cm in diameter). So, the way that banana growers do this is by either genetically modifying the bananas so that it doesn't have the gene to produce seeds, or selectively breeding it. This is when they choose the best banana, and then plant its seeds/stem so that is produces another banana tree full of the best bananas.

Actually, a banana does have seeds. They're just really small, and hard to see with the naked eye. You can find them if you look hard enough.
