Bananas do not have seeds in them to reproduce the tree (e.g you can grow
a lemon tree from the seeds in the fruit but not a banana tree from a
banana)
you cannot seed a banana tree,
still that kind of vegetal is reproduced and grows...
As many other plants they have an asexual reproduction,
where the new plants are identical in every respect to
the parent plant.The asexual reproduction involves no
union of cells or nuclei of cells, there are not mingling
of genetic traits.
Banana plant is a gigantic herb that grows from an under-
ground stem ( rhizome),and forms a false trunk with leaves.
There emerges a large flower spike, with numerous
individual flowers, that bends downward to become fruits.
After the plants had fruits, they die and are replaced
by others that arise from the underground stem, and
that process can keep on going for many years.

Banana seeds are employed for propagation only in breeding programs.
Banana and plantain cultivars most often grown in Florida are the 'Dwarf Cavendish', 'Apple', and 'Orinoco' bananas and the 'Macho' plantain. The 'Red' and 'Lady Finger' bananas are very occasionally grown in sheltered locations.
The fruit (technically a "berry") turns from deep-green to yellow or red, or, in some forms, green-and white-striped, and may range from 2 1/2 to 12 in (6.4-30 cm) in length and 3/4 to 2 in (1.9-5 cm) in width, and from oblong, cylindrical and blunt to pronouncedly 3-angled, somewhat curved and hornlike. The flesh, ivory-white to yellow or salmon-yellow, may be firm, astringent, even gummy with latex, when unripe, turning tender and slippery, or soft and mellow or rather dry and mealy or starchy when ripe. The flavor may be mild and sweet or subacid with a distinct apple tone. Wild types may be nearly filled with black, hard, rounded or angled seeds 1/8 to 5/8 in (3-16 mm) wide and have scant flesh. The common cultivated types are generally seedless with just minute vestiges of ovules visible as brown specks in the slightly hollow or faintly pithy center, especially when the fruit is overripe. Occasionally, cross-pollination by wild types will result in a number of seeds in a normally seedless variety such as 'Gros Michel', but never in the Cavendish type.

Bananas DID have seeds, but the bananas we cultivate today are seedless.

yes ,they are tiny and black.
the whole purpose of the banana fruit and peel is to protect them so they can develop and stay moist and protected till they find their way to the ground and next season and then the lucky one s that made it through develop into a new tree.
