The reference to floating bananas, which the two Japanese investigators insist couldn't have floated and the bonsai tree, which Pi equally insists is preposterous, as trees are not tiny and could be carried in your arms and it having to be living to at least 300 years old.

The floating bananas and cultivated bonsai trees in Life of Pi represent the stark contrast between the abundance and beauty of the natural world and the control and manipulation of nature by humans. They highlight the themes of survival, adaptation, and the delicate balance between chaos and order in the characters' struggle to survive at sea.
