Bananas are frequently (and mistakenly) thought to grow on trees. In fact, they are herbaceous plants of the genus Musa. As such, the parent plant "makes" the banana. The banana is a fruit with a large number of complex chemical molecules in its makeup. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on the banana.
