    Question: What is banana inflorescence?

    Options:

    Spadix
    Hypenthodium
    Panicle
    Corymb

    ✅ EXPLANATION:: The inflorescence of a banana is a spadix. The spadix is a type of fleshy, unbranched inflorescence in which the flowers arise directly from the central axis. In the case of the banana, the spadix is protected by a large, purple bract called a spathe. Female flowers, which develop in bananas, are located at the bottom of the spadix, while male flowers (which are typically sterile in cultivated bananas) are located at the top.

    📌Other Options and Explanations:
    🔹 Hypenthodium: It is a specialized type of spadix found in some palm species, where the flowers are arranged in spirals on the axis.
    🔹 Panicle: It is a branched inflorescence where the flowers are borne on stalks of different lengths, giving the inflorescence a pyramidal shape.
    🔹 Corymb: It is a flat-topped inflorescence where the flowers are all borne at the same level, regardless of their position on the stalk.
