Banana is a fruit produced by large herbaceous flowering plants belonging to the Musa genus.
The majority of banana species are derived from Musa acuminate and Musa balbisiana, which are two wild banana species. It's a tropical Indomalayan and Australian native.
Edible Part:
The fruit's edible portion is divided into three sections along its length. The three carpels are represented by the three sections.
The exocarp, mesocarp, and endocarp are the three parts of the banana that are edible.
The exocarp is the fruit's outer layer. It is commonly referred to as the fruit's skin or covering.
The mesocarp is the next section. The mesocarp is the part of the banana fruit that is in the middle.
The mesocarp extends all the way to the endocarp, which is the innermost part of the fruit. The endocarp is the portion of the plant that is consumed. The endocarp is the fruit's innermost layer, and it contains the seeds.
Endocarp and less developed mesocarp is the edible part of the banana.
