That's why it is crooked?
In the beginning, when the fruit of a banana grows on a tree, it is in bunches. It is like a bud, in which there is a bunch of bananas under each leaf. Usually it is called Gail in the native language.
In this way, initially the banana grows towards the ground, that is, it is straight. But there is a tendency in science, which is called Negative Geotropism. It means the trees that grow towards the sun.
Due to this tendency, the banana later starts moving upwards, due to which the shape of the banana becomes crooked. Sunflower is also a similar plant, which has a tendency to negative geotropism.
Many of you hardly know that the sunflower flower is always in the direction of rising of the sun and as the sun changes its direction in the evening, the sunflower flower also changes its direction. That is why the name of this flower is Sunflower, that is, face towards the sun.
