why are banana stems curved?



why are banana stems curved?..

Answer / anithaisro

Bananas start off growing downward, but then turn toward
the light causing their tips to bend upward. This and their
increasing weight cause the stem to bend over so that the
fruits point upward, explaining why the banana has a
slightly curved shape.
