A banana is classified as an angiosperm because it is a flowering plant that produces fruits containing seeds. However, many cultivated varieties of bananas, particularly the popular Cavendish type, are seedless due to parthenocarpy, a process where the fruit develops without fertilization. These bananas are propagated asexually through vegetative means, such as planting rhizomes or suckers, which allows them to maintain their desirable traits without seeds. Thus, while bananas are angiosperms, the common cultivated varieties do not contain mature seeds.
