This is a question related to botany, and a good one. You need to now a little about living things and the scientific classification of them, for lack of better terminology, their roots or family tree. All living things fall into different categories in order to better determine their origins. Keeping this in mind, the categories from top to bottom are,: Kingdom, Order, Family, Genus, Species. Bananas are related to Turmeric, Cardamom and Ginger (considered distant cousins, much like a human family). I'll give you a rough breakdown.
Kingdom Plantae - They are all plants
Order Zingiberales - Still all the same
Family Zingiberaceae - Hmmm...Turmeric, Cardamom and Ginger all have the same
The banana Family is Musaceae and then everything else branches out from there.
So they all started from the same beginning but ended up with different families. Try to think of the way royalty works hence the very beginning listed as Kingdom. Hope it helps!

∙ 8y agoYes, the banana fruit is a berry. Berries are identified as being many seeded with a fleshy inner layer. So, technically a banana is a berry. And, believe it or not, bananas don't grow on trees! Originally from Asia, the "banana tree" is really not a tree in the true sense. In fact, banana plants have no wood fiber. The banana plant is the world's largest herb and a member of the lily family.

A banana tree is not actually classified as a tree due to the fact that it has no wood fibers. So it is actually a plant, IE: Herb.

In that context also, the banana (plant) can be considered an herb.The banana itself is the fruit of the herb - or, in the words of Harold McGee in On Food and Cooking, "a seedless berry of a tree-sized herb related to the grasses..."
