Is a banana a fruit or a herb?!
Answers: Both. A banana (the yellow thing you peel and eat) is undoubtedly a fruit (containing the seeds of the plant: see answer regarding tomatoes), though since commercially grown banana plants are sterile, the seeds are reduced to little specks. However, the banana plant, though it is called a 'banana-tree' in popular usage, is technically regarded as a herbaceous plant (or 'herb'), not a tree, because the stem does not contain true woody tissue.
Both. Banana plant is a herb ( not a tree), and it gives fruit, that is called banana.
of course a fruit
A fruit..The word derives from arabic and means finger. Banana, which had not yet been discovered and imported into Europe, was described in 1601 as the fruit that smells of rose.

The babana that we eat - the long yellow thing - is a fruit. But the whole plant itself would be considered a herb.
