Banana Plant Royalty-Free Stock Image

The banana plant is the largest herbaceous flowering plant. All the above-ground parts of a banana plant grow from a structure usually called a & x22;corm& x22;. Plants are normally tall and fairly sturdy, and are often mistaken for trees, but what appears to be a trunk is actually a & x22;false stem& x22; or pseudostem. Family: Musaceae Genus: Musa Order: Zingiberales
