Solution(By Examveda Team)

The stem above the ground in the banana is known as pseudostem.
The pseudostem is the part of the banana plant that looks like a trunk. It is formed by tightly packed overlapping leaf sheaths. Even though the pseudostem is very fleshy and consists mostly of water, it is quite sturdy and can support a bunch that weighs 50 kg or more.
