Answer 1

They didn’t, we made them evolve.

Banana originally were very small, hard and full of seeds. A selective process where humans took some sample of the plant whose fruits looked looked the most appetitive/less shitty (longer banana with less seeds) to grow back into another fruit tree/bush/whatever happened and with years and years and years of doing that we obtained the fruits we have today.

Exact same thing happened to carrots.
