🍌☀️ #Bananas undergo a process called negative geotropism where the #fruit grows upward toward the sunlight rather than toward the ground.

This evolutionary trait allows the heavy fruit clusters to maintain balance while competing for light in the #rainforest canopy. Botanists at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, note that this unique growth pattern is what gives the fruit its characteristic curve.
