The banana decomposes more readily because it is mainly composed of sugars. While the peel is more fibrous and is designed to withstand the elements. The main purpose of a banana is to deliver seeds to the ground and the only way it can do so is to decompose fast so the seeds(which have been bred out of the banana you currently eat) can germinate.
