Came here to say the same: "wtf how are bananas and pineapples trees? Shall we get him to look up the pictures or ask some AI model to get the images of wikipedia and to classify them?"

There are fern trees (Tree Fern to be precise), but they only grow in tropical regions. Bananas and pineapples are clearly grass with huge leaves.

I think it's interesting how I discover in this comment section that many people use the word grass for any member of the order Poales, where I would only use it for members of the family Poaceae, and even then only when speaking in very general terms when it comes to things like bamboo.

But bananas? Who calls bananas grasses? They're not even in Poales!
