Banana

Scientific Name:
Musa × paradisiaca

Banana thrives in well-drained soil and full sunlight. It provides a habitat for epiphytes and insects, supports decomposers, stabilizes soil, and conserves moisture. Growing rapidly in warm, tropical climates, it produces large, broad leaves and edible bananas. Additionally, the plant’s dense foliage helps retain moisture in the soil, benefiting surrounding plants and supporting a rich ecosystem.
