Now I know a similar question has already been asked but I haven’t been convinced by the answers given.

1. Selective breeding
1. Cool I know HOW they became curved, but why are they parabolic?
2. Bananas grow in bunches
1. Why not linearly at a 45 degree angle? What is so special about parabolas?

It’s definitely not selective breeding, it’s just the shape they grow in naturally. Might be exaggerated as they get larger than wild relatives, but people didn’t intentionally breed them to be curved
