ok, after research, it turn out the banana itself is a fruit, but the plant it comes from is a herbaceous plant 
You gotta be kidding me..who the hell needs to google banana to know that banana is a fruit!?
Do you eat bananas there?

You don't say Sherlock...
I don't get you.
Erm actually bananas are more closely related to a herb than a fruit, the only thing that keeps them classified as fruits is that naturally the have seeds like apples or oranges, but domesticated bananas are selectively bread to have no seeds (or very little ones)

That's exactly how they're classified, that's why they're a fruit.
Plus, genetically modified bananas are still a fruit despite being modified or not. You can't talk about a fruit as if it was not natural. Natural fruits came before genetically modified fruits did

I wasn't going to point this out, but lol
I'm aware, but it's what came to mind first. For whatever reason.

But it tells you "Just follow these instructions, and answer the questions one at a time and as quickly as you can." and to think of a vegetable "QUICK". First thing that came to mind was banana, so I told you what it was.
It's a shame I've been disqualified though. My life is useless now.
