Bananas are probably native to tropical Asia, but are widely cultivated. Banana plants have a palmlike aspect and large leaves, the overlapping bases of which form the so-called false trunk.
Bananas are an important food staple in the tropics.
India grows more bananas than any other country in the world. For all intents and purposes, this plant seems as though it were artificially created as a food source for early primates. The Banana is a grass, not a tree. The plant gives off a fruit, that is totally unnecessary for propagation. And in fact one cannot propagate a banana plant via its fruit.
