A banana is classified as a fruit, specifically a berry, that develops from the flower of the banana plant. The part of the banana plant that we eat is the ovary of the flower, which contains seeds, although cultivated bananas are typically seedless. The banana plant itself has a pseudostem made of tightly packed leaf bases, and its true stem is underground. Thus, while bananas are fruits, the overall plant structure includes components of stems and leaves.
