00:00Most fruits that do not have a core are reproduced using their seeds.
00:05But what about bananas that have neither seeds nor cores?
00:09The particularity of bananas compared to other fruits
00:12is that it is the fruit not of a tree, as one might think, but of a herbaceous plant.
00:17And yes, the domestic banana tree is not a tree but a plant.
00:21This difference is important since, unlike a fruit tree,
00:25the banana tree does not reproduce using seeds, but thanks to its roots.
00:30By a system of root rejection called vegetative multiplication,
00:34the banana tree can in a way duplicate itself without needing fertilization.
