      Did a banana plant kill your family or something? This is the silliest hill to die on I’ve ever seen.

        They could have said something like, “A banana tree has a large herbaceous-modified corm,” but it didn’t. It was unclear.

          It said it was a herb because in botanical terms it’s a herb. That’s not unclear. Even if you confuse it with the culinary term, all you have to do is google “herb definition” and the one of the two definitions provided is:

          any seed-bearing plant that does not have a woody stem and dies down to the ground after flowering.

          And the example given is:

          “the banana plant is the world’s largest herb”
