Sonia and Neha were debating over the fact whether banana is a true fruit or a parthenocarpic fruit. What according to you is correct w.r.t. banana?

Answer:

Banana is considered both as true and parthenocarpic fruit. The fruit of banana is formed from the ovary, so it is a true fruit. It is a parthenocarpic fruit because the ovary develops into fruit without fertilisation and thus, seedless.
