Answer:
The "lamina of a banana plant" is used as plates for eating.
Explanation:
- The lamina of the banana plant is most structurally suitable for eating with its broad end on one side and the narrow end on the other side; leaves are thick and smooth; and waterproof, don't get soaked.
- Eating on a 'banana leaf' is highly nutritious because it contains a lot of nutrients like Vitamin A, carotene, calcium etc and polyphenols.
- The polyphenols are excellent antioxidants which get activated when warm food is served on the leaves.
- The leaves of plants like 'areca nut', 'jackfruit', etc are also used to eat.
