What is the functions of banjo in simple orchestra?
The modern banjo was invented in America in the late 1800s so it didn't exist at the time when the traditional concept of an orchestra was being developed.
The banjo was derived from African instruments made of dried gourds, which were essentially drums with strings pulled taut. Compositions for orchestras tended not to score for localised indigenous instruments, unless the composer was looking for a "particular" sound.
That said, there's no reason it couldn't hold its own in an orchestra with its unique, sharp, and precise tones. Some banjo virtuosos such as Bela Fleck have performed and recorded classical compositions with great accuracy on the banjo.

Is the banjo a orchestra instrument?
The banjo is believed to have originated in the Middle East and Africa and been brought to America with the slaves.
The original banjos were really drums with strings pulled tightly across them, which were plated by either plucking or drawing a bow across them. The first actual record of a banjo seems to have been made by Richard Johnson in 1620. While exploring the Gambra River in Africa, he wrote in his diary of an instrument "made of a great gourd and a neck, thereunto was fastened strings."
The 5-string banjo developed out of these African instruments when slaves were brought to the American colonies. The Africans reconstructed instruments based on the ones indigenous to the areas from which they had come.

- The body of a banjo is made up of a wooden (sometimes metal) rim, a metal tone ring and the skin. The skin is similar in nature to a drum head.
- Some banjos have an added metal resonator plate on the back of the body. Others have an open back depending on the make and model.
- The skin of the banjo is located on the front of the body and was originally made from dried animal skin. Today the skin is made from synthetic materials such as plastic.
- The neck of the banjo is made of wood and connects the body to the head and contains the frets. When the strings are pressed down, the frets dictate which note is being sounded.
- The head of the banjo is located at the opposite end as the body and is where the tuners are located and is also made of wood. The tuners, which are made from plastics, hold the strings in place and adjust the tuning of each string when turned.
- Banjos are set up to use four or five strings that can be tuned to a variety of open chords depending on the style of music being played. The strings are similar to guitar strings and are made of steel.
