A banana grows on a plant called a banana tree
Bananas do not grow on trees. A banana plant is the largest flowering herbaceous plant. The main stem is called a pseudostem which dies after fruiting then off shoots develop from the base of the plant
A banana is the fruit of a plant.
No, you cannot root a banana plant from a banana. You can buy a banana plant at some nurseries (depending on where you live) or, over the Internet. Once you have one banana plant you can yield the 'suckers' (side shoots from the original plant to yield more bananas.)
The herbaceous plant that looks like the banana plant and is grown for its strong fibers is the abaca plant, also known as Manila hemp. It is native to the Philippines and its fibers are used to make ropes, twines, and other materials due to their durability and strength.
Banana plant leaves have parallel venation.
the difference is that banana plant is a dicotyledon while pineaple is a monocotyledon plant
A banana is not a tree, it is a large herbaceous plant and they do have large flowers. The female flowers develop into fruit
I thought it was an herb... The bannana or banana is both a fruit and an herb. A banana is a fruit (containing the seeds of the plant). However, the banana plant, though it is called a 'banana-tree' in popular usage, is technically regarded as a herbaceous plant (or 'herb'), not a tree, because the stem does not contain true woody tissue, thus the plant itself is a herb.
Banana plant being a monocot has fibrous root system.
The banana plant can be grown through its rhizome with sprouts (false stem)
Both. A banana (the yellow thing you peel and eat) is undoubtedly a fruit (containing the seeds of the plant, though since commercially grown banana plants are sterile, the seeds are reduced to little specks. However, the banana plant, though it is called a 'banana-tree' in popular usage, is technically regarded as a herbaceous plant (or 'herb'), not a tree, because the stem does not contain true woody tissue.
