B A N A N A YAY

One of the most common misconceptions about bananas is that they grow on trees. Turns out, bananas are actually herbs (I know, your whole life is a lie). Oh and herbs don't grow on trees, they grow on herb plants. So when you see a banana "tree" it's actually a giant herb. And now the reason that bananas are considered herbs is because for something to be considered a fruit, it has to have some sort of woody tissue connecting the fruit to the plant and bananas don't have that... And there's not a specific reason that bananas are considered fruits other than the fact that they're sweet-ish and are fruit-looking I guess.
