Question

Give reason for the following statement
why banana tree is a herb ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Banana tree is called herb because the stem does not contain true woody tissue.

Answer 2

• A banana (the yellow object you peel and eat) is unquestionably a fruit (it contains the plant's seeds: see 'Is a tomato a fruit or a vegetable?').
• however the seeds are reduced to tiny specks since commercially bred banana trees are sterile.
• Although the banana plant is commonly referred to as a "banana tree," it is actually a herbaceous plant (or "herb") rather than a tree since the stem lacks genuine woody structure.
