It is both. A banana (the yellow thing you peel and eat) is undoubtedly a fruit (containing the seeds of the plant, though since commercially grown banana plants are sterile, the seeds are reduced to little specks. However, the banana plant, though it is called a 'banana-tree' in popular usage, is technically regarded as a herbaceous plant (or 'herb'), not a tree, because the stem does not contain true woody tissue.

No, its a herb and not a actually a palm. But it is a fruit, as a fruit is the seed bearing organ of a plant, and bananas have seeds..
