Answer:

Because they grow towards the sun and the sun is what makes things grow like water to Beneath each flower petal, a row of tiny banana fruits start to grow. Once they're much bigger in size, the fruit goes through a process called negative geotropism. Which basically means instead of continuously grow towards the ground, they start to turn towards the sun, in order to retrieve light.

Answer:

Bananas are curved because they grow towards the sun

Step-by-step explanation:

Bananas are curved so they can retrieve sunlight. Bananas go through a process called 'negative geotropism'. What it means is that bananas grow away from the ground, instead of growing towards it, hence the 'negative' geotropism.
