      Wild bananas do have seeds, so these can reproduce normally by the standard fruit method of being pooped out by animals. Bananas we eat, otherwise known as Cavendish bananas, are mostly the widely eaten type because they are seedless. These banana plants reproduce asexually.

      No seeds means that they reproduce asexually.
